Villa in the Italian Style

VILLA IN THE ITALIAN STYLE

Located on the most prestigious street in Hudson, the Samuel Edwards house is a striking example of Hudson Valley Italianate architecture. The refined villa was built in the 1870’s at Willard Place, an early planned residential enclave of historic stately homes in the heart of Hudson. The impressive brick house with a three-story central tower and one-story wing retains many 19th century details from the rich paneled woodwork, dramatic three-story open and curved staircase, stained glass windows, high cove ceilings, parquet wood floors and pocket doors. The living room, dining room, and library have beautiful fireplace mantels. The library has an exceptional coffered ceiling, wonderful bookcases and 19th century tiles surrounding the fireplace. The large, eat in kitchen has cherry cabinets, handsome ceiling, a tile floor and a door to the back porch. There is a convenient, first floor vintage half bath tucked in beneath the staircase. The second floor has three bedrooms, a large bathroom with shower and an additional room that could serve as an office or space for another bath. The third floor has a full bath, a fourth bedroom and another large room, both with views of the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains, and could be great studio, additional living or workspace. The enchanting third floor tower room, with original round windows, is a perfect small work or meditative space. A full basement with a half bath and laundry has a workshop and a garage. Outside, bracketed cornice, ornamental window surrounds and a distinctive roof pierced by miniature dormers add character. Sited on nearly an acre, there is ample room for a pool or lovely period gardens. Listed on the National Register, the home may be eligible for historic rehabilitation tax credits. Only steps away from Hudson’s best restaurants, cafés, bakeries, shops, galleries and the Farmer’s Market; a short walk to the Hudson Riverfront Park and Amtrak station; only two hours to NYC. Come experience all that Hudson and the upstate lifestyle has to offer while living in the finest example of 19th century architecture.
