Property Description
Welcome to The Ethol House, a remarkable historic residence in the heart of Poughkeepsie. Built in 1910 as a classic three-bay bungalow and resting on its original cobblestone foundation, this timeless home blends historic character with exceptional space and versatility.
This expansive property offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, providing plenty of room for comfortable everyday living as well as hosting guests.
The main level welcomes you through a grand foyer that sets the tone for the home's historic charm. The oversized living room features beautiful original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and built-in bookshelves, creating a warm and inviting space. Just beyond, a four-season sunroom offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy views of the surrounding property.
Flowing seamlessly from the living room is the formal dining room, ideal for hosting large gatherings and memorable dinners. The spacious kitchen provides plenty of room for cooking and entertainment, complete with a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the backyard.
Upstairs, the home offers the primary bedroom suite, along with two additional bedrooms, an additional space perfect for a home office, reading room, music room or sitting area, and the convenience of second-floor laundry.
The lower level, accessible through the foyer, offers private access to an additional living area that includes a living space, bedroom, and full bathroom -- ideal for private accommodations.
Outside, the property features a beautiful, oversized lot with mature plants, providing a peaceful outdoor setting.
Adding even more versatility, the converted garage now serves as a legal accessory unit, offering excellent potential for guest quarters, rental income, or private workspace.
A full basement provides abundant storage and future possibilities for additional finished living space.
Located in the vibrant city of Poughkeepsie in the Hudson Valley, the home offers convenient access to local restaurants, shops, colleges, Metro-North trains to NYC, and the scenic Hudson River waterfront.
Rich in historic charm, architectural character, and flexible living space, The Ethol House is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Poughkeepsie history while enjoying the comfort and versatility of modern living.
