…and, the 3,180-square-foot interior features an antique store-full of 19th-century details, like leaded glass windows, a circular turret living room with a solid marble fireplace, hardwood floors, plaster walls, moldings, and trim.

It includes three bedroom and two baths, and sits on over two park-like acres in the Columbia County town of Greenport, located two miles from the center of Hudson city. The listing classifies its condition as “fair,” so experienced restorers only – or those who can afford to hire one  – need apply.

This property is situated in the Upper Hudson Valley, where we’ve been spending this whole week, checking out the available real estate listings. You can see more of our favorites here, here, and here.
