424 Storms Rd Valley Cottage, NY 10989

This beautiful and unique 4br, 3.5 bath craftsman style farmhouse is fully upgraded for the modern lifestyle. Approaching this property through the tree-lined driveway and beautiful gardens you get a first glimpse of the house sitting atop the ~3.5-acre lot. The property feels tucked away, yet the location keeps daily life practical with quick access to major highways and nearby shopping. It’s the rare balance people look for and seldom find: privacy outside, clarity and comfort inside.
Step through the door and enter the beamed living room with generous light and comfortable scale. A handsome hearth anchors the space as an architectural centerpiece—kept for character and not for use—so evenings lean toward conversation, reading, and calm. Opened seamlessly to a dining room that holds weeknight meals as easily as a long table when the guest list grows. The rooms stay connected without losing their own identity, which keeps gatherings lively and the house from feeling overexposed. Just off this flow, a den/TV room offers a door to close when you want quiet. A discreet half bath serves the level and keeps hosting effortless.
The kitchen is the everyday heart of the home, generous in both footprint and storage. It is brightly lit by large windows on 3 sides, with white cabinets, Carrara marble countertops, a massive sit-in butcherblock island, and a large butler’s pantry with a bar. Also with a farmhouse sink, a stainless gas range with pot-filler, a French-door bottom-freezer refrigerator, and a dishwasher—set around practical counters. Broad stretches of work surface make prep and baking straightforward, and there’s room for a breakfast table by the window. It’s a kitchen made for real life—morning coffee with a view of green and late-night tea under quiet light. A back door steps directly to the stone patio.
Heading up to the second floor - at the stair landing the plan divides—an old-world gesture that still solves modern needs. To the right, a private guest wing provides a bedroom with a sitting den and it's own bathroom that feels genuinely separate, ideal for longer visits or a household member who keeps different hours.
To the left, you’ll find a spacious primary suite with a bright marble and tastefully renewed bath and closets designed for actual storage rather than display. A laundry closet sits within the suite for day-to-day convenience. Two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed full bath complete the upper level, giving everyone a door to close and a place to keep their things.
Outdoors, the property keeps its promises. The stone patio off the kitchen is sized for weeknight grilling and the kind of long conversations that arrive when the stars come out. The open lawn offers room to breathe and with natural borders that bring shade, birds, and seasonal color. A classic detached barn stands on site and lends the land its farmstead silhouette. However, it belongs to the owners and is not for tenant use.
424 Storms Road reads as inviting, capable, and quietly distinguished—ready for the everyday moments that make a house feel like home - not your ordinary rental!.
