The Union Street Merchant House is a timeless City and Country jewel in the heart of the historic Hudson district. The owner and restorer-in-chief, an antique dealer and tastemaker, has brought a lost gem back to life with the utmost respect that this antique house and its many original details demand and deserve.
Old stained linoleum floors and worn carpeting have been removed to expose beautiful, warm, and original wood floors. Plastered walls have been brought back to their original glory after removing layers of wallpaper. The kitchen has been completely redesigned and modernized with input from a local chef to create an inspiring and functional space without sacrificing its connection to the original elements of the house. Tall ceilings on both the first and second floors allow for a maximum amount of light gracing the rooms during all parts of the day.
The entryway from the front porch leads to the living and dining rooms with a stylish staircase leading to the bedrooms upstairs. One of the distinctive features of the house is the butler’s pantry with exquisite tile work, glass cabinets, refurbished wood countertops, and an antique sink. The kitchen, occupying the back third of the house, is large and well equipped with professional-grade appliances, sleek fixtures, and a separate nook for the refrigerator. The back porch leads down to a sweet garden and expansive country views.
The second floor has 3 bedrooms and a fashionably appointed bathroom with a tub. The master bedroom at the back leads to a Juliet balcony overlooking a community ball field for that quintessential summertime activity of watching baseball.
The third floor has been intentionally left unfinished with all the electrical and plumbing work completed for the new stewards to come and add their personal touch. There is a loft space at the back, a full bathroom with a ball and claw tub, a reading room, and a studio space, all with windows bringing in plenty of natural light.
Offering a walkable, charming, and urban lifestyle that Hudson natives love so much in the middle of the countryside, the Union Street Merchant House is perfectly located within a minute of the region's best eateries, shops, and art galleries. From the home, it’s a ten-minute walk to the Amtrak station, and two hours to New York City.
