Property Description

Mrs. Miller's Cottage is an impeccably restored historic home originally built for the prominent local Miller family in the early 1840s. The cottage is located on the edge of Hudson on a rare quarter-acre lot, yet just a minute from Warren Street. Mature perennial gardens, stone walls, a dining terrace and firepit, a secret garden, and a perfect Selvedge-blue studio space fill the grounds. A few steps up from the street, you enter the first floor through the front gardens, opening to a light-filled living room with exposed original beams. Past the living room lie the expansive kitchen and dining room, which have verdant backyard views. The kitchen is well-appointed, with high-quality appliances and custom cabinetry. A powder room with laundry completes the floor. The second floor has three bedrooms, an office/baby room, and a tastefully done full bath with radiant floor heating. The back bedroom opens to an upper deck overlooking the yard and receives the prettiest morning light. The house maintains its period allure, including original pine floors and wood beams, while having been completely updated, including all new six-over-six windows, mechanicals, electrical wiring, insulation, doors, and walls.French doors in the cottage's kitchen open to a patio with extensive stonework, perfect for dining or entertaining around the fire pit, and surrounded by pollinator-friendly flower gardens, herbs, veggies, fruit trees, and lots of green space. A marble pathway up the gently sloping grassy hill leads to a secret shade garden and a 400 sf reestablished bonus space currently used as an art studio and wood workshop, offering a blank canvas for the next owner. There is also a gravel-lined, private 2-3 car parking area, unusual for a city property and highly coveted. Tasteful wood fencing along both sides offers an extra element of privacy. Mrs. Miller's Cottage is a uniquely lovely and peaceful village home with a substantial amount of cultivated green space and an unbeatable proximity to the best the Hudson Valley has to offer in terms of food, art, and culture.
