A distinguished brick townhouse with the scale, character, and craftsmanship of Hudson’s prosperous nineteenth-century era, this exceptional home occupies an enviable position below Third Street in one of the quietest sections of the historic district.
Set above the street on a gently sloping lot, the property offers an uncommon advantage for a townhouse: a full, finished walk-out basement. Inside, generously proportioned rooms and soaring eleven-foot ceilings on the main level create an impressive sense of volume and elegance.
The thoughtfully updated kitchen brings a modern sensibility to the historic home, with an open layout, expansive south-facing windows, and direct views across the dining deck, landscaped grounds, and the Catskill Mountains beyond. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, new double ovens, and other high-end appliances make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful.
Upstairs, the grand staircase curves beneath an oculus skylight, creating a striking architectural moment as you arrive at the primary suite. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms, including a front bedroom with its own ensuite bath and shower. A second full bath features a Japanese-style soaking tub. At the rear, an office and generously sized dressing room take full advantage of the home’s spectacular southern exposure and mountain views.
Comfort is well considered, with dual heating provided by European-style hot-water radiators and ductless mini-splits offering supplemental heat and air conditioning.
Historic character, generous proportions, modern amenities, and exceptional southern views come together in a truly special Hudson residence.
