A spectacular, fully-restored historic home, just steps from the Hudson River! Once home to John C. Maxwell of the North River Blue Stone Works, this 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath estate has been completely re-systemed, pairing original character with modern efficiency.
The main floor can feel as grand or cozy as you’d like, with a wraparound porch, grand oak staircase, and front-to-back living room (complete with a Harman pellet stove and vintage grand piano). The heart of the home is a stunning light-filled kitchen with granite counters, a six-burner Viking range, and a Vermont Castings wood stove-warmed sitting room: a cook’s dream, and the natural gathering spot for everyday life.
Upstairs, a glass-framed hallway with seasonal river views leads to a private living room and primary suite tucked away from the action below. Two additional bedrooms and a gorgeous bathroom with a clawfoot tub and standalone rainfall shower complete the level.
When it’s time to host, the house expands to meet your needs: the finished third floor adds three more bedrooms, two baths, and a kitchenette — its own self-contained wing, so guests get real privacy, not just a spare room. And because every system has been updated and zoned, you get all that space with costs like those of a much smaller home.
Outside, two-plus acres bring fruit trees, a deer-proof vegetable garden, berry bushes, a small fish-and-frog pond, a two-car garage/workshop, and a skylit potting shed. Set in a picturesque, walkable hamlet, you’re just minutes from I-87, the Village of Saugerties, and HITS.
The backstory: the current owners lived here full-time before turning it into a lucrative 5-star Airbnb in 2026. (Revenue data available upon request.) Career realities have forced the owners to leave their dream home behind. Their loss, and motivation, is your opportunity! All furniture negotiable.
