16-18 Broadway, Tivoli, NY 12583

Property Description

Set just steps from the center of Tivoli, 16-18 Broadway is a rare village compound comprising two complete residences, a heated saltwater pool and a remarkable level of craftsmanship throughout. It offers something particularly unusual for one of the Hudson Valley's most charming small villages: the flexibility and privacy of a country property, with the restaurants, shops and everyday life of Tivoli just outside the door. The 2,170-square-foot main house offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths and has been thoughtfully renovated by a master carpenter, whose work can be felt throughout. Handmade wood windows, beautifully executed plaster walls and ceilings, wide-plank floors and original details give the interiors a quiet, elemental quality. The renovation is restrained, preserving the age and character of the house while introducing a new kitchen and baths and thoughtfully updated systems. Rooms are simple, warm and filled with natural light, with old wood, softly textured plaster and carefully chosen contemporary details sitting comfortably alongside one another. There is a sense that very little here was done simply for effect; instead, the beauty comes from the materials, craftsmanship and the wonderfully imperfect character of an antique Hudson Valley house. The 1,976-square-foot barn is a fully realized second residence, with two bedrooms and two full baths, rather than simply an ancillary guest space. With its own full kitchen--including a gorgeous statement range--and a bathroom finished in Italian Bisazza tile, it functions independently from the main house. The arrangement opens up countless possibilities: extended family or guests, separate work and living spaces, or simply two households sharing one exceptional property without sacrificing privacy. Outside, a heated gunite saltwater pool creates a private retreat within the property, while solar panels are thoughtfully positioned along the south side of the barn. What makes 16-18 Broadway particularly compelling is the combination: two complete and beautifully considered residences, a pool and substantial outdoor space, all within a few steps of the charming village of Tivoli. Small, lively and deeply charming, the village has long been one of the Hudson Valley's most beloved destinations. Here, the pleasures of village life and the space and flexibility of a country compound exist side by side.
