185 Taylor Rd

Come discover this charming, beautifully maintained Colonial on a corner lot along a quiet country road in the hamlet of Mountainville, in the thriving Hudson Valley town of Cornwall. Set on picturesque Taylor Road, framed by historic dry-stack stone walls, the property offers perennial gardens and a tree-lined backyard for exceptional privacy and tranquility. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors add warmth throughout the home. The custom European kitchen with Corian counter tops and a movable island awaits a serious cook, while a cozy brick wood-burning fireplace adds comfort on chilly winter days. The bright, spacious living room opens to a formal dining room, and the family room can also serve as guest space thanks to a full first-floor bathroom. The spacious primary suite features custom cherry cabinetry, a wall-to-wall California Closet, and an en-suite bathroom with cherry built-ins and granite countertops. One of the four second-floor bedrooms is currently used as an art studio and another as a library. They share an elegant bathroom with double vanities. A partially finished basement and detached two-car garage provide abundant storage and two wells--one for the house and one for the yard-- are an added benefit. An expansive deck, built on I-beams like the house itself, overlooks the large, level yard. A new central air system was installed in 2022, and the water heater was replaced in 2025. The home is heated electrically and features eight thermostats for super-efficient energy control. Adding to its appeal, the property is located just one mile from Schunnemunk State Park, offering 3,300 rolling acres, 20 miles of trails, and sweeping panoramic views. Black Rock Forest and Storm King Art Center's world famous outdoor sculpture park are nearby, and Cornwall's charming Main Street--with shops, restaurants, galleries, bakeries and cafes--is just a short drive away. Local farm markets abound, Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets, West Point, major highways and Metro North Railroad are all within easy reach. You have discovered a gem!
