1001 Route 9 J, Stuyvesant, Ny 12173

With beautiful views of the Hudson River, this enchanting 19th-century Carpenter Gothic cottage in the historic hamlet of Stuyvesant is a rare combination of architectural character, thoughtful design, and an extraordinary sense of place.

Distinguished by its steeply pitched rooflines, delicate Gothic detailing, and beautifully proportioned windows, the home retains the romance of its origins while offering the ease of contemporary living. Inside, a restrained palette of warm whites, dark painted floors, and carefully considered finishes creates an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting.

At the heart of the home, a double-sided fireplace connects the living spaces, lending warmth and intimacy to rooms filled with natural light. The bright and airy kitchen pairs simple white cabinetry and soapstone countertops with a farmhouse sink, Wolf gas range, and Liebherr refrigerator. Beautifully updated bathrooms provide a pleasing contrast to the home’s historic character, including an upstairs bath with a luxurious soaking tub.

A spectacular vaulted second-floor living room and studio is among the home’s most memorable spaces, with soaring ceilings, a distinctive quatrefoil window, and incredible views of the Hudson River. Equally suited to creative pursuits or quiet afternoons, it offers a wonderful sense of separation from the main living areas.

Outside, a wide and gracious porch overlooks the gardens, the Hudson River, and the Catskill Mountains beyond. Spectacular sunsets over the river are a nightly ritual, best enjoyed from the porch, whether dining outdoors, entertaining friends, or simply taking in the view.

Thoughtfully updated while preserving its architectural integrity, the house strikes a beautiful balance between historic charm and contemporary comfort, with a standing seam metal roof and central air conditioning among its modern conveniences. Just a short drive from Kinderhook and Hudson, this is an exceptional Hudson Valley retreat in one of the region’s most picturesque riverfront hamlets.
