Welcome to your private hillside retreat in one of Bedford’s most exclusive neighborhoods! This beautifully maintained ranch offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and an elevated lifestyle nestled in one of Bedford's most sought-after subdivisions. From the street, the home presents as a charming ranch; step inside, however, and you'll discover nearly 3,700 square feet of finished living space spanning two expansive levels. The main level features an inviting layout with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a private primary suite with its own bath and walk-in closet. Natural views of the surrounding trees from the living room and bedrooms create a peaceful, secluded feel, as though the home is nestled within the trees themselves. The kitchen is finished with beautiful upgraded countertops and stunning hardwood floors throughout, while thoughtful details such as rounded drywall corners and a unique floor plan configuration add a subtle touch of craftsmanship. The real surprise is downstairs. This fully finished, walk-out lower level offers an enormous recreation/family room, additional open living space, two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, an office that could provide the flexibility of a sixth bedroom, and an oversized storage room. With approximately 1,600 square feet of finished living space on the lower level alone, there is room here for multigenerational living, a home office, hobbies, guests, entertaining, and more! The lower level also offers extensive possibilities for customization such as an in-law suite, long-term rental, or Airbnb (subject to applicable approvals). And then there is the outdoor living. Two expansive levels of decking extend from the rear of the home, with walk-out access from both the main and lower levels. Backed by mature trees, the setting feels remarkably private and peaceful - an ideal place for morning coffee, summer evenings, or gathering with friends and family. As the seasons change, the elevated setting opens up beautiful views through the trees toward Bedford, creating a picturesque backdrop in the fall. The 0.38-acre lot provides a balance of privacy and manageable maintenance, while the attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. The home also features a radon mitigation system, mini-split cooling, newer appliances, and a new roof installed in 2014 with a 50 year warranty! Thanks to its elevated location, winter access is surprisingly convenient due to the borough prioritizing snow removal on the hills after snowfall. Above all, this home offers a refined experience. Established surroundings, expansive living space, privacy, peaceful outdoor living, and the character of one of Bedford's most upscale residential neighborhoods create an atmosphere that feels both prestigious and welcoming. If you're looking for luxury, space, and privacy, this may be the home for you!
