A Gingerbread Cottage in Peekskill: $495K

  |  March 15, 2024

Upstater is wrapping up its week in Peekskill with this gingerbread cottage just a couple blocks off Main Street.

The dusky blue siding is accented with white railings, brackets, and other decorations that look like icing on a cake. And the fire-engine-red front door adds even more pop. The white picket fence surrounding the front yard ups the cuteness factor.

The front porch literally has rocking chairs on its traditional gray floor.

The front door is as red on the inside as it is on the exterior. It opens to a small foyer and original staircase.

We can imagine many a hand that’s polished that banister over the decades since the house was built in 1967.

The seller understood the assignment in staging the home: The decor is on point, as seen in this library/den, without anything appearing to be virtually placed.

The living room has a deep teal accent above a frosting-white fireplace.

A dining table is tucked into a spacious area beyond the sofa.

It’s next to the kitchen, which has a new floor and gray-and-white cabinetry that complements stainless-steel appliances. A glass door leads outside.

A main-floor half-bath is handy. The gray/white color scheme is accented by white fixtures, including a pedestal sink.

The laundry room is upstairs, a bonus for those who hate lugging laundry baskets up and down.

A full bath also is on the second floor. It has a gray vanity with a white sink; a white tub/shower; and a vibrant, black and white mosaic-tile floor.

Three bedrooms are on the second floor. This one is kid-sized.

This one’s a bit bigger, with an aqua accent wall.

The primary bedroom has soothing gray walls.

The house is manageable to maintain at 1,558 square feet. The back porch is covered, with stairs leading to a grassy backyard and a back sidewalk.

Main Street is under a 10-minute walk from here, so you can hit Iron Vine Tapas Bar and Restaurant without worrying about parking. Fabulous shows at the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater are a mere 12-minute stroll.
