27 Jean DR Monroe, NY 10950

Tucked away at the end of a long private driveway on 3.4 acres, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and everyday convenience. Surrounded by mature trees, scenic mountain views, and a picturesque pond shared with one neighboring property, this one-of-a-kind retreat feels like your own private oasis, yet is just minutes from shopping, restaurants, schools, and major commuter routes in the highly sought-after Monroe-Woodbury School District. Freshly painted inside and out, this spacious home offers 2,233 square feet of living space, plus a spectacular 224-square-foot enclosed cathedral-ceiling porch surrounded by walls of windows that bring the outdoors in. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, watching the changing seasons, or simply taking in the peaceful views, this remarkable space is sure to become your favorite room in the house. Natural light pours through oversized picture windows, highlighting the warm and inviting living spaces. The living room and expansive family room are anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling two-sided brick fireplace, while a second fireplace with a wood-burning stove adds warmth and character, creating inviting spaces for relaxing and entertaining. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and generous workspace, flowing effortlessly into the dining area for everyday living and special occasions. The home features four generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet, along with two beautifully updated full bathrooms and a convenient half bath. The lower level offers an expansive family room with a separate entrance, providing outstanding flexibility for a home office, guest quarters, multigenerational living, or a home-based business. Step outside onto the newly refreshed oversized deck overlooking your backyard, where nature becomes part of everyday life. The expansive cleared lawn offers endless space for soccer games, baseball, gatherings, and entertaining, while wooded walking paths lead to the pond. Spend peaceful evenings by the water, enjoy fishing, watch deer and birds from your deck, or simply relax and take in the serenity that makes this property so special. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, central vacuum, generous storage throughout, two beautifully updated full bathrooms, a recently refreshed oversized deck, and the peace of mind of a recently removed underground oil tank with proper documentation.
Properties offering this rare combination of acreage, mountain views, a picturesque pond, and an established neighborhood setting seldom become available. Completing this exceptional offering are deeded lake rights to Balder Lake (just down the street, if you choose to join)—a private freshwater lake ideal for swimming, kayaking, non-motor boating, fishing, and peaceful winter days spent skating. This is more than a house—it's a property and lifestyle that's hard to duplicate.
