A wonderfully charming c1870 Queen Anne cottage with a detached guest house in the heart of Hudson. Set amongst beautiful perennial gardens, the home’s fabulous sloped roof covers stacked porches. The home has been slowly and carefully restored, inside you’ll find reclaimed old growth Hart Pine wide board floors & exposed beams. The kitchen was built by a local craftsman with inset cabinetry, Imperial Danby marble countertops and DeVOL's unlaquered brass hardware. The gorgeous AGA gas range is both a workhorse and a fabulous accessory. There is a pantry & powder room off the kitchen, and cafe curtains from East London Cloth. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which walk out to a perfectly private covered second story porch framed by shingled archways-- it overlooks the neighborhood & garden and offers a private and peaceful place to sit or work. A full bath has William Morris wallpaper, Waterworks fixtures and a deep soaking tub. Out back, the historic detached carriage house now serves as guest quarters. A full bath was added and finished with marble tile and brass Waterworks hardware. The kitchenette was custom built with an antique farmhouse sink and Liehbehr refrigerator. The yard is peaceful and sweet, the bluestone patio lined with rhododendrons and hydreangeas. The low maintenance gardens add shade and privacy. The property is made up of two tax lots offering future flexibility, and there is off-street parking in the rear. 445 Union is a turnkey, period-focused labor of love walkable to Amtrak and the vibrant 18th century restaurant, boutique and antique shopping district of the Hudson Valley’s darling rivertown.
