If you’ve got a tight budget, this three-bedroom cottage is just the type of delightful find upon which you hope to stumble in the listings. Every square inch of its three bedrooms, two baths, and 1,436 square feet looks to be in tip-top shape thanks to a fresh renovation. Behold the refinished wood floors throughout…

Home chefs will be pleased by this brand-new kitchen with granite counter tops and high-end appliances. There’s also an additional powder room on the first floor…

…and another full bath on the second floor, where you’ll also find three sun-drenched bedrooms.

Back down on the ground floor, the back portion of the house consists of an enclosed porch that could be opened up, or kept as a seasonal rec room.

Although the backyard is small, it does provide a spot for a cook-out, as well as a single car garage/carriage house.

Just a mile east of this sweet residential neighborhood is the Vassar College campus with a surrounding neighborhood that delivers a college-town vibe, decent take-out, and a cultural hub. From here, the Poughkeepsie Metro North station is about two miles away.
