A c.1870 Hudson Home
Jane Anderson | December 17, 2025
The city of Hudson in Columbia County is vibrant and welcoming; today’s Upstater home exemplifies the opportunity available to smart buyers in the area.
This c.1870 home in Hudson has seen a lot of history come and go in the city, back to when it was seriously a whaling community with shipyards, all the way up to current times, when citizens will more likely dip a finger into a cocktail before dipping a line into the water at the Furgary Shacks.
Nevertheless, today’s home buyer will love this place, which not only offers a couple of bedrooms and a bath, but includes architectural plans for an accessory dwelling unit with an additional bedroom and bath onsite. For now, it’s a nicely renovated home perfect for a single, a couple, or a small family.
We love that sleekly polished, yet rustic, wide-planked floor in the living room, just past the blue front door.
The staircase is positively regal.
This room has stark ceiling beams in shades much darker than the modern, likely laminate floors beneath them. The kitchen lurks behind, though the listing is lacking in images of it. We see a hint of cabinet, counter, and sink.
Modern finishes besides the flooring include a ceiling fan, recessed lighting, baseboard heating, and double closets.
This is a cool bathroom, with a rustic wideboard floor, a wall of white tile, and a squared-off vessel sink served by a waterfall faucet on a floating vanity.
A beautiful floor, high ceiling, and soothing wall color in this bedroom? Yes, please.
Sun dapples the walls in the second bedroom, whose flooring echoes that of the first.
Bonus: Unfinished basement space promises expansion potential, per city guidelines, of course. And the house comes with plans for an accessory dwelling unit with one bedroom and a bath.
The house measures over 2,000 square feet and sits on a postage-stamp-tiny city lot. The listing price is $675,500, and it’s in the heart of Hudson, just six blocks off Warren Street and two blocks from the Wylde Hudson wine bar and cafe.
