OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, October 13 from 11 - 1. This gorgeous home and artist's studio is directly on the west bank frontage of the Hudson River in the Hamlet of New Baltimore National Historic District. It is 2 1/2 hours from NYC and 30 minutes from the Hudson Amtrak Station. (2 hours by Amtrak to NYC). Surrounded by lovely hiking and canoeing preserves, this circa 1873 church has been beautifully transformed into a perfect, peaceful home, artist's studio or live/work retreat. Upstairs is an expansive 2000 SF wide-open space with 20-foot ceilings, downstairs a 2000 square-foot, open-plan residence. Enjoy panoramic, undeveloped views of the Hudson and the protected land on the opposite bank. Passing through the period-perfect front door you will find a handsome vestibule before you enter the enormous sanctuary space. With the original red oak floor, stained glass windows on the sides and glorious picture windows facing east, this 2000 square-foot, column-free space with a 20-foot tin ceiling opens onto a small balcony perched right above the Hudson River. There is a full bath on this floor as well as the spacious original choir loft up above. Make your way down the magnificent cherry staircase to the 2000-square foot, open-plan residence area. Here you will find the spacious kitchen, a dedicated dining area, the living room with wood stove, two large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a third bedroom. The kitchen features copper countertops, a Liebherr refrigerator, and 6-burner grill / propane range with electric oven. Step through the glass doors onto the landscaped garden and bluestone patio. This is a perfect place for entertaining, gardening or just relaxing. Continue down the stone staircase to a lovely deck overlooking the Hudson River and far shore. Modern, energy-saving features include solar panels on the roof, 3 Mitsubishi ductless AC/heating units and propane-fueled radiant heat on both floors. The house is served by fiber-optic cable and municipal sewer. Listing includes the approximately 800-square foot building across the street. It was renovated in 2018 with a new roof, new siding and paint, 200 amp electric and lighting and is now used for storage. The interior of the building is largely unfinished, so it is being sold as is''.
