A true Hudson treasure; An elegant, 19th century Hudson house with contemporary, style for modern living that is completely turnkey. Built in 1893 and designed by architect Henry S. Moul, this stunning home underwent a complete and total restoration in 2022. Original details were preserved throughout blending perfectly with the addition of unique design style finishes including a stained glass transom over the original, double entry doors, a very impressive dark wood, main staircase, parquet floors and a mosaic tile surround of the wood burning fireplace. Lighting is a feature of the renovation with many unique antique and modern choices blended nicely throughout the three stories. The 3,150 SF interior includes four light-filled bedrooms and four, classically remodeled bathrooms. The kitchen features custom designed cabinetry, butcher block counters and chef worthy appliances including a large, side-by-side Stainless Subzero refrigerator, A cherry red AGA stove, Asko stainless steel dishwasher, white porcelain farm sink, full equipped pantry, radiant heated floor, and a Dutch door for convenient access to the private deck, backyard and carriage house garage. Beyond pretty, the practical updates include fire code approved sprinklers for all 3-floors, energy-efficient heat pump, closed-cell foam insulation, home generator, 200 AMP electric service, and home security system. Full dry basement with concrete floors and washer dryer provides useful space with ample additional storage. Enjoy the out of doors on the veranda off the Dining Room, the wire railed deck off the Kitchen for lunching or cocktails or take in the unusually commanding view of Hudson rooftops, the Catskill Mountains and North to Albany from the 3rd floor covered balcony. The entire property is fenced and lined with a mature hornbeam hedge for maximum city privacy. The 19th century carriage barn currently serves as a 2-car garage with convenient electric door. With the 2nd floor hayloft, the entire building could be renovated as a private studio, gym or office space. This home is in the higher elevation of Hudson giving it commanding views to the North and West, and has a modern aesthetic with historic flair. It provides city living convenient to Amtrak, Hudson dining, the Emergency Room and shops. Yet it has a very private sensibility. Come see!
