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.

The enchanting Juniper Cottage sits up on a hill in relative seclusion just a stone's throw away from the picturesque Roe Jan Kill River as it flows into the Hudson just minutes from the home. Set on nearly two acres, the property feels utterly private, with beautiful country views in all directions The house's location on the land is perfect for taking advantage of the sun as it moves during the day and the hills that dot the surrounding landscapes.The 19th-century farmhouse has been restored and affectionately cared for by two creatives who have treasured the property as their rural weekend escape. The cedar-shingled home has a perfect blend of distinctive original details like well-preserved wide board pine floors, a stone fireplace with a wood stove insert, and detailed yet down-to-earth historic millwork, alongside an updated kitchen with modern Smeg appliances and an expansive, three-season sunroom and blue stone terrace recently built by a local master craftsman.The sun-soaked, spacious first floor has a cozy living room with built-in bookshelves and a fireplace, a dining room with big picture windows and a reading nook, a charming, well-appointed kitchen, a large sun porch, and a full bath. The second floor is more intimate, with two generous-sized bedrooms, a full bath, and an office.The property has been beautifully landscaped with rolling lawns, lush perennial plantings, and mature trees, and yet, remains easy to maintain. The Roe Jan Kill and the Hudson River are within walking distance of the property, as are great hiking trails. Some local favorites include Gaskins for dinner, Frederic Church's Olana State Historic house and grounds for regular strolls with river views during all seasons, Otto's Market on Main Street Germantown for breakfast/lunch and well-curated groceries, and Morningstar Farms for farm-fresh produce. Juniper Cottage offers complete solitude and peace yet lies just a few minutes away from the quaint village of Germantown, 10 minutes from Hudson and Tivoli, 15 minutes from Red Hook, 20 from Rhinebeck, and two hours from New York City.
