Description
Welcome to Gilded Age Glamour and Immaculate Renovation on historic Garfield Place. This storied eight-bedroomed property was built in 1853, remodeled in the 1890s, and enhanced for total comfort over the past 10 years. Listed on the Historic Register and in the heart of the most prestigious district of the city, the house is set in large, tiered gardens on a rare 3/4 acre plot. The house abounds in exceptional craftsmanship and period detail. A tiger oak hallway leads onto two parlors, a salon, and a mahogany paneled dining room. Parquet flooring, pocket doors, three marble fireplaces, two ceramic fireplaces, built-in shelves and corner cupboards, fine gilt and painted bronze chandeliers in the Empire style and exquisite Italian plaster work offer beautiful and interesting details in impeccable condition wherever the eye falls. A luxuriously refitted kitchen opens onto a large conservatory with jacuzzi and views of the garden. In addition, the first level boasts 11-foot ceilings throughout the main living areas as well as a side wing with separate entrance to a large office/studio space, laundry and a half bath. 4 bedrooms on the second floor, with 9-foot ceilings and seasonal views of the Hudson River, and four more on the third floor (this entire floor could form a self-contained staff or rental apartment) - offer lavish accommodations and ample privacy for extended family and guests. Attractive outbuildings provide plentiful storage and a handsome brick garage at the bottom of the garden with direct access to South Road presents opportunities for an artist's studio, home office, staff flat or rental unit. The Garfield Place historic district is a short walk from the Bardavon performing arts center and Poughkeepsie's flourishing restaurant and gallery scene; Vassar Brothers hospital and the train station with regular Metro North and Amtrak connections to New York City and access to all the North East.
