Overview
Past becomes present in this charming 2-story home, nestled on a quiet street in the heart of Hyde Park. This home offers a unique blend of history and modern amenities. Originally built in 1790 as an inn (see attached photos) and moved in 1909 to its current location, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and additional spaces that could be used as office, den, etc. The main level boasts a spacious living room and dining room with original wide-plank flooring, a half bath, and one additional room that could be used as owners see fit. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite includes ensuite bath and large walk-in closet, two bedrooms, another full bath, and additional room that could be used as walk-in closet, library, or yoga/exercise room. The outdoor space includes two private driveways, a brick patio, large outbuilding, and smaller gardening shed, all framed by a striking 40-foot high rock outcropping wall. The property is located near the Vanderbilt and FDR Roosevelt mansions and the Culinary Institute, and within walking distance of local shops, restaurants, and services. It’s also just a short drive to Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and less than 15 minutes to Metro North and Amtrak stations for easy NYC access. Recent upgrades, all within the last 2+ years include a new roof, septic system & leech field, furnace (Petro), central air (currently disengaged), radon detection system, and foundation waterproofing. With some cosmetic updates, this home could be a great investment property or a perfect spot for full or part-time short-term rentals.
