Description

This beautifully restored 1880s cottage now represents one of the strongest values currently available in Hudson -- offering a rare combination of total turn-key condition, prime walk-able location, private landscaped garden/patio, off-street parking, and future expansion potential that is increasingly difficult to find at this price point anywhere in this market. Just moments from Warren Street and only two blocks from the Amtrak station, this is the kind of Hudson property buyers wait for: historic character without renovation headaches, sophisticated design without compromise, and the ease of true low maintenance living. Behind its classic clapboard facade, every major investment has already been made. New windows, doors, central air conditioning, insulation, designer lighting, and a gas fireplace provide the comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind, eliminating the cost, endless delays, and unpredictability of taking on such a major restoration. Thoughtfully designed and impeccably finished, the home lives far larger than its footprint, offering an effortless blend of charm and modern functionality ideal for full-time living or just weekend escapes. The fully fenced, landscaped yard with stone patio is a standout rarity in Hudson-- a serene private retreat framed by birch trees, evergreens, flowering plants, and multiple spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet mornings, enjoying your coffee. Upstairs, two en-suite bedrooms create comfort and privacy, while second-floor laundry and a balcony overlooking the garden elevate everyday living. A rear gate opens to three coveted off-street parking spaces plus approved plans for a future garage with studio, guest suite, office, or creative space above -- an increasingly rare opportunity to expand both functionality and long-term value in one of the Hudson Valley's most sought-after towns. Walk to some of Hudson's favorite spots including: Feast & Floret, Wylde Coffee, The Maker and the newly opened Pocketbook Factory Hotel, Spa & Restaurant -- then return home to a peaceful oasis that feels worlds away from it all. This property represents a rare chance to secure a fully restored, move-in-ready Hudson home where the hard-to-find essentials already align - location, privacy, parking, future potential and the hard work as already been done - all in one of the city's most sought after neighborhoods.
