Description

A Grand Macy Residence -- A Timeless Piece of Hudson's History. Once home to Gertrude and Hiram Macy, descendants of one of Hudson's early founding families who arrived from Nantucket, MA, in the 18th century, this Victorian-era residence showcases remarkable craftsmanship and architectural grandeur that simply cannot be reproduced today. Over the past 13 years, the current owners have lovingly maintained and meticulously renovated the residence, preserving its historic character while introducing modern comforts. A beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen with a Wolf range and Liebherr refrigerator, an updated first-floor full bath, and air conditioning complement the home's charm. Outdoors, improvements include a freshly painted exterior, new cedar siding, deck, fencing, and blue stone patio, along with a hot tub tucked into its own private nook. From the moment you enter this historic home, high ceilings, crown moldings, marble fireplaces, and a magnificent curved staircase with carved details showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Intricate hardwood inlays and contrasting woods create mosaic-like patterns underfoot. The living room fireplace has been converted to gas. A formal living room and dining room set the stage for memorable dinner parties, while the beautifully landscaped yard invites entertaining on a grand scale. A den with French doors opens to a deck and sitting area, with a blue stone patio below. After a stroll along Warren St., retreat to the sunroom with a good book or enjoy a leisurely afternoon summer nap. Ascending the curved staircase is an experience in itself, leading to three bedrooms and two updated full baths, including a primary with an en-suite. The once-barren yard has become a spectacular private oasis, with flowering plants, lush shrubs, and trees creating a tapestry of seasonal color that must be seen to be believed. Stone steps lead to an expansive lawn, complemented by an additional side lot included in the sale. There's ample room for a swimming pool, subject to necessary approvals. What sets this property apart is the elegance of a stately residence, the serenity of a country estate, the convenience of living in the heart of town, with easy access to Amtrak and New York City just two hours away. 525-527 Union Street is a one-of-a-kind property that must be experienced to be truly appreciated.
