A True Treasure in Historic Peekskill!
Nestled into a picturesque hillside, this tri-level Colonial-style home in Peekskill combines vintage charm and modern amenities for an idyllic lifestyle experience. Built in 1920, the lovely brick and clapboard residence has been renovated numerous times since then. Just a few blocks from Main Street and the Downtown Historic District, the property is also close to the Hudson River.
Living, dining, and cooking areas are at the second level with windows on all four sides. Refinished original wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and French doors leading out to multiple patios all lend to a unique allure. The open gourmet kitchen with stone counters and stainless steel appliances offers an extraordinary culinary setting. An airy dining room features windows wrapping around three sides, creating a sunroom-like ambience with stellar views. Also at this level is a renovated full bath with exposed beam ceilings and a walk-in shower.
There are two spacious bedrooms at the top level, each with sunny exposures on two sides. One bedroom has overhead beams and an exposed brick corner accent, while the other bedroom has been opened to the attic, creating an additional whimsical multipurpose loft space. At the lowest level is a large foyer and living area, a third bedroom that is currently used as an office, a full bath with exposed brick walls, and a new high efficiency washer and dryer.
Private outdoor spaces are integral to the appeal, with multiple patios including the rooftop of the garage, plus a back porch and a terraced backyard with stone steps. Trees have been removed and trimmed for additional sunlight, and fruit plants can be found throughout, with grapes, kiwis, raspberries, and an established strawberry bed. Invite friends and family over to your magical oasis!
2024 improvements include refinished floors, carpeted stairs and loft, SS chimney lining, and several replacement windows. The furnace and hot water heater were recently replaced, and ductless A/C adds to the summertime comfort. One of the bedrooms has been successfully rented through Airbnb, adding a potential income source. And while property taxes are $9,728.79, that doesn’t include the STAR credit which can significantly reduce future payments.
Described in the New York Times as an “Artist’s Paradise on the Hudson River,” Peeksville is celebrated for its studios and galleries, sidewalk cafes, a farmers market, a storied waterfront, and verdant greenspaces. The local Metro-North Hudson Line offers easy commuter access. The welcoming vibe and rich history make this Westchester County community a true treasure. Welcome home!
