Property Description

Welcome to Centennial House. This 1926 Tudor Revival is a rare architectural artifact, offering 2,290 square feet of impeccably preserved living space. The residence features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom across two floors, a finished attic, and a full basement with a direct entry garage. The property sits on 0.21 acres. You enter through a foyer anchored by original stained glass sidelights. The living room is a masterclass in 1920s craftsmanship. The original fireplace is the focal point, featuring intricate geometric tilework in earthy tones that you simply cannot source today. The space is grounded by original built-ins, pristine woodwork, and gleaming hardwood floors. Even the light switches are original push buttons, a tactile detail that speaks to the era. It is a room that feels simultaneously grand and deeply intimate. The kitchen balances modern function with period charm. It features custom, moody green cabinetry, a six burner Wolf range with a commercial grade hood, and a classic farmhouse sink. The formal dining room flows directly into a screened in porch, an ideal setting for intimate dinners overlooking the private grounds. The second floor hosts three large, light-filled bedrooms and a full bathroom with separate soaking tub and shower. The finished attic is a revelation. Heated and cooled, it features skylights, generous storage, a propane fireplace, and a full bathroom with a striking red tile shower. This level offers the perfect canvas to create a sprawling primary suite. The lower level is a rare combination of utility and preservation. The full basement is clean, dry, and impeccably maintained, featuring a dedicated laundry room and a massive amount of storage space. A direct access garage provides seamless entry, while an outside exit grants easy access to the grounds. It is a space designed for modern function, executed with the same thoughtful attention to detail found throughout the rest of the home. The exterior is a private, fully fenced sanctuary. A large, manicured hedge shields the home from the street. The walkways and patio are custom bluestone, an enduring material that adds texture and permanence to the landscape. A built in propane stone fireplace anchors the outdoor living space, making it usable for three seasons. Centennial House is located mid block on a beautiful, walkable street with sidewalks and a park. It sits just half a block outside the Hudson city limits, granting you complete exemption from city taxes while keeping you within walking distance to Warren Street. You are five minutes from the Amtrak station with a two hour train to NYC, and thirty minutes to Albany International Airport. You have the privacy of a suburban estate with the convenience of municipal water, sewer, and natural gas. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hudson history.
