Home Details for 45 Cliffdale Court

Nestled within a mature forest canopy on 1.44 private acres, this custom-built residence draws inspiration from the enduring principles of Craftsman design while embracing a distinctly modern sensibility. Perched on a gentle rise above a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by mature woodland, the home announces itself with navy siding, low-profile rooflines, broad cedar-clad overhangs, and a cedar-ceilinged covered porch supported by substantial timber posts. Craftsman-inspired windows with geometric grille detailing frame woodland views while filling the interiors with natural light. Designed to celebrate both connection and flow, the floor plan creates sightlines from the nine-foot entry doors through the main living spaces to twin sets of French doors framing the trees beyond. Expansive windows throughout blur the distinction between indoors and out, bringing the surrounding landscape into nearly every room. Hardwood floors extend throughout the main level, unifying the living room, dining area, and kitchen into one generous, light-filled expanse. A sleek fireplace with a dark slate surround anchors the living room, while windows on every exposure draw in natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features rich custom cabinetry, beautifully patterned natural stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous center island, and a walk-in pantry. An array of oversized windows above the sink frames peaceful views and transforms everyday tasks into something far more enjoyable. The adjacent dining area opens directly to the rear deck overlooking the private backyard, creating an effortless transition for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Beyond, the backyard offers level lawn, mature trees, a fire pit for evenings outdoors, and exceptional privacy. A generously sized, private first-floor office offers an ideal setting for working from home. Nearby, a well-appointed mudroom with built-in bench and coat hooks provides convenient access from the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a private sitting room, fireplace, generous walk-in closets, and a beautifully appointed ensuite bath. A soaking tub set beneath a row of clerestory windows and a large glass-enclosed shower with rain head, bench, and pebble floor create a spa-like atmosphere. Two secondary bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath -- one of which currently functions as an upstairs office and media room -- while a fourth bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own ensuite. A full unfinished basement provides exceptional storage and meaningful potential for future expansion. Built in 2024 by Rieger Homes, 45 Cliffdale Court offers a compelling combination of architectural character, quality construction, and privacy within one of the Town of Poughkeepsie's most desirable enclaves of custom homes. From this peaceful setting, residents enjoy easy access to Vassar College, the Culinary Institute of America, the Walkway Over the Hudson, and a city increasingly recognized for its investment, revitalization, and expanding cultural and hospitality offerings.
