A Renovated Three-Story Beauty in Poughkeepsie: $695K

  |  January 30, 2024

Today, Upstater is back on the South Side at this renovated three-story beauty in Poughkeepsie.

Unlike a lot of city residences, this 3,200-square-foot beauty that was built in 1898 has not been chopped up into apartments. Yes, it has six bedrooms and four full baths for a generously sized family. Cut-stone steps lead from the sidewalk to a concrete path that ends at the front porch steps. The white porch contrasts well with the red siding and charcoal trim on the house.

There’s plenty of room to relax on the porch.

A roomy entry greets you at the door, paneled in chair-rail-height wainscoting. Original hardwood flooring covers the entry, with a short flight of stairs stopping at a landing before continuing up to the second floor.

The center hall continues that handsome wainscoting, topped with gray walls that are copied into the living room.

A carved mantle surrounds the fireplace in the living room, which is open to the adjoining dining room.

Big enough for a crowd, the dining room has rich blue walls.

That color scheme flows to the family room, which has a wet bar and plenty of room to lounge.

If you like to cook, this chef’s kitchen is a dream, with a mosaic-tiled floor, marble counters and high-end appliances. Aged brass hardware complements the white cabinets, white aproned sink, and white subway-tile backsplash.

A cozy breakfast nook features sumptuous blue velvet banquette seating and chairs.

The main-floor bath picks its colors from the living area, too, with marble flooring and cobalt-blue walls.

There’s even a shower!

All the bedrooms are upstairs, beginning with this bright room featuring a bowed wall and beautiful wood flooring.

The windows are big in the bedrooms, allowing great leafy views and lots of sunlight.

This room is smaller but still comfortable. Get a good look at everything in the virtual tour.

The laundry room conveniently lives on the second floor…

…next to a full bathroom with marble flooring and a marble-and-gray-wood vanity.

This full bath has a shapely sink and a separate shower.

Unlike the flooring in the other bedrooms, gray carpeting covers the expansive floor in the primary bedroom.

The accompanying ensuite bath has marble accents, a double-sink vanity, and geometric tile on the floor. A soaking tub sits against one wall, and a big shower is nearby.

The detached garage was rebuilt to the original period specs, as was the house. The attic has 1,446 square feet of additional, unfinished space. Everything is close to this third-of-an-acre property: Enjoy waterfront dining within a five-minute drive at Shadows on the Hudson, or head southwest from the house for Route 9 shopping.
