Charming Downtown Poughkeepsie 2nd floor Apartment Near the Hudson River
7 Lafayette Place, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 | $1,700/month Heat & Hot Water Included
Come home to a truly charming Hudson Valley townhouse tucked away on Lafayette Place, one of downtown Poughkeepsie's smallest and most distinctive historic streets. With only four homes on this friendly block, the setting offers a unique neighborhood feel while keeping you just moments from the Hudson River, Mid-Hudson Bridge, Metro-North/Amtrak and everything downtown Poughkeepsie has to offer.
This light-filled second-floor one-bedroom/one bath apartment is full of warmth, character and beautiful architectural details. Two spacious rooms are connected by elegant French doors with European-style hardware, creating a wonderful flow and giving the apartment a character you simply don't find in newer construction. Hardwood floors, exposed brick, original architectural woodwork and a soapstone hearth add to the home's historic charm.
A separate bonus room provides valuable additional space and is ideal for a home office, den, dressing room or oversized walk-in closet.
The kitchen features granite countertops, tiled flooring, generous cabinetry and a large pantry, providing plenty of storage and workspace. Additional touches throughout the apartment include ceiling fans, Roman shades and a tiled bathroom.
During the warmer months, enjoy the property's backyard patio and garden, a wonderful outdoor retreat right in the heart of the city.
The location is a standout. You're within easy walking distance of Metro-North and Amtrak, downtown restaurants, bars, galleries and government offices, while the Hudson River waterfront and Mid-Hudson Bridge are just minutes away. Whether commuting by train or car or simply enjoying everything Poughkeepsie and the Hudson Valley have to offer, this is an exceptionally convenient place to call home.
