Not Your Average Ranch
Few words conjure images of soul-sucking suburbia as much as ranch. As a rule, I am simply not a ranch person. But I'm making an exception for this 50's edition because it has spunk--and 2 wooded acres in the bucolic Huntersville section of Yorktown Heights, 10 minutes from the Croton-Harmon station. Located on Old Logging Road, the house is one of a group which--due no doubt in part to the steep and rocky terrain--are set back from the road behind trees and are nestled in their natural setting. (If only today's developers were so restrained!) Weighing in at 3,300 square feet with 4 bedrooms, the home boasts an appealing living room with a beamed ceiling and walls of windows. The rooms seem big and bright, and the mod kitchen with marble counters is working for me (though that lamp has got to go). On the con side, the landscaping looks a bit overblown. Nonetheless, there's plenty here to like at what seems to be a good price for the neighborhood. $925,000 Coldwell Banker, Google Map

Personally, I love ranches, perhaps because I grew up in one. I think they are perfect for people who want to start a family. It's great to only have to chase kids around on one level, not up and down stairs, too. And, there's no doubt that ranches are great for the older folks, who also struggle with stairs.
