Perched slightly above the street on one of Poughkeepsie’s most desirable residential blocks, this classic Craftsman offers the perfect blend of character, privacy, and modern updates. The elevated setting creates a peaceful sense of separation from the street, making the home feel like a private retreat.
Outdoor living truly shines here with two inviting porches, front and back plus a shaded patio, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A large, two-car garage provides not only parking but exceptional storage space.
Step inside to a bright, sun-filled semi-open floor plan with generously sized rooms throughout. The living room is warm and welcoming, showcasing gleaming hardwood floors, fresh paint, and stunning stained-glass windows. A spacious foyer and handcrafted staircase immediately speak to the home’s timeless craftsmanship. The dining room is bathed in morning light thanks to its charming bay windows.
The professionally designed kitchen, just three years young, boasts high-end cabinetry and thoughtful finishes. Upstairs, a lofted area with a dormer window offers a cozy, sunlit nook. All bedrooms are generously sized.
Additional highlights include a full basement ideal for storage or bonus space, and an upgraded electrical system.
This is a rare opportunity to own a Craftsman that delivers charm, comfort, and modern convenience, all in an exceptional city location.
