Take a Peek at this Poughkeepsie Victorian’s Secret Interior…
Kandy Harris | December 26, 2019
This Poughkeepsie Victorian house’s ornate front porch foreshadows its wealth of interior details.
Built in 1888, the six-bedroom home sits within Poughkeepsie’s Academy Street Historic District with other homes that display historic character. And, if it’s character you’re after, you’ll find it here in the form of curves galore, pristine hand-tooled wood trim, an ornate staircase banister, and bay windows.
Forced to choose our favorite feature, however, we would happily elect the first floors pocket doors, featuring nautilus-like frosted glass and an arched frame…
…a frame that’s reflected in window frame in the living room opposite the doors. Even the ceiling joins the walls in a softly undulating fashion…
…with more archways in the den…
…and a rounded room with big windows, tall ceilings, and parquet floors.
The formal dining room has its own bay windows, as well as built-in hutches…
…and a rounded hallway with wainscoted ceiling and leaded glass gently coaxes you into the home’s six bedrooms and four full baths.
The .2-acre property is convenient to Poughkeepsie’s waterfront neighborhood, local parks, the Mid-Hudson Bridge, and the Metro-North/Amtrak station.
