River Watch is quietly set back from the road and poised at the top of a hill. This purposefully chosen setting offers both Hudson River and Catskill Mountain views - sunsets are glorious. The hamlet is known as Young America and the residence, an 1890 Folk Victorian, reflects the artistry and design of a not so young American era. The rocking chair front porch, with its requisite turned posts and detailed brackets, sets the tone for the entire experience of serenity and charm. Enter through two sets of crafted double doors, via the vestibule, and into a sundrenched living room. Here we have built-in bookcases and cabinetry as well as double multi-light French doors which lead to the flower garden. The formal dining room, also imbued with magical light, easily provides space for vast farmers' market-fare meals prepared in the country kitchen with its generous butcher-block island. Wide doors open onto a large deck for al fresco meals and where your potted herbs and flowers will adorn both taste and table. Entertaining made simple. In every season. Throughout the house we have a mix of wide and medium board floors as well as traditional cottage style plank doors with wrought iron handles. The second floor is reached via two separate interesting staircases. Upstairs we have two landings, three quite comfortable bedrooms, and two full baths; yes, one with a claw-foot tub. The one-acre property is exquisitely dotted with old-growth trees and fenced flower as well as vegetable gardens. A silver maple on the east border might be the oldest tree in Germantown! Down the gravel driveway, along a laid stone wall, we reach a building. Within is a 2-car garage and fabulous studio! Presently used for pottery, but clearly available for your own, long-delayed artistic expression - No matter the medium: Sculpture, paint, movement, writing. If you think of it, it can be done here. Mostly. The vehicular area is so large it can be divided to provide for other desired space - gym, workshop, greenhouse, home office, or perhaps pool house. The property beyond this structure is open and level offering the perfect situation for a pool. At the north border, we have a sheltered brook which is a tranquil gift, a place to listen to her melodic sounds. Less than a one mile walk into the village center of Germantown, yet a world apart.

Built by Dutch settlers in 1740 and quietly tucked along one of Claverack's most peaceful country roads, 210 Bate Road is a home that tells the story of the Hudson Valley itself. Set on 4.72 acres of mature trees, rolling lawn, and woodland, it offers an increasingly rare combination of complete privacy and remarkable convenience—just ten minutes from the restaurants, galleries, and shops of Warren Street in Hudson. Over nearly three centuries, the house has evolved with extraordinary care. While its early Dutch structure remains intact, later stewards thoughtfully incorporated architectural elements salvaged from a nearby grand Federal home, layering the house with another chapter of regional history. Elegant mantels, cupboards, doors, windows, and the staircase sit comfortably alongside hand-hewn beams, wide-plank floors, and beautifully weathered brick, creating interiors that feel collected over generations rather than restored all at once. The kitchen and baths have been sensitively renovated, offering modern comfort while remaining entirely sympathetic to the home's historic character. Every improvement feels quiet and intentional, allowing the architecture—and nearly three hundred years of craftsmanship—to remain the focus. Looking toward the future, the home is powered by solar energy serving both the house and barn, with two Tesla Powerwall batteries providing efficient energy storage and resilience without compromising the property's historic character. The living spaces unfold naturally from one another, each with its own distinct sense of warmth. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while two wood stoves—one welcoming guests in the generous entrance hall and another in the primary bedroom—make the house feel equally inviting throughout the colder months. An office and a soaring artist's studio provide inspiring spaces to work and create, flooded with natural light beneath vaulted ceilings and exposed timber framing. Upstairs, two peaceful bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a second full bath on the main floor offers flexibility for guests. Outside, the landscape is every bit as compelling as the house itself. Loomis Creek meanders through the property, crossed by charming footbridges that lead to woodland walking trails beneath a mature canopy of trees. A fenced garden surrounds the house, while the open meadow offers ample room for a pool or pond should the next owner wish to add one. The property's creative legacy extends beyond the main residence. The antique two-story carriage barn was once the working studio of renowned local artist Stanley Bate, who lived here at the turn of the twentieth century. His original gas-fired kiln remains in the barn today, a remarkable artifact of the property's artistic past and a lasting reminder of the generations of makers who have found inspiration here. The barn continues to offer exceptional space for creative pursuits, workshops, or future possibilities. Homes of this age are rare. Homes that have been so thoughtfully stewarded—where nearly three centuries of history, craftsmanship, artistic legacy, and modern sustainability exist in such quiet harmony—are rarer still. 210 Bate Road is one of those exceptional places that feels both timeless and entirely alive, offering an extraordinary country setting just minutes from the vibrant cultural life of Hudson.

A very early Hudson home built c1790 likely in the Federal style, 102-104 North Fifth Street was converted into a striking Italianate at the turn of the 19th century.

Just blocks to Warren Street, Hudson’s main drag, the neighborhood is residential and quiet. You have a large backyard with a patio, a 6ft fence for privacy, and lovely & mature plantings. Inside, the proportions are as elegant as the exterior, with high ceilings and wide spaces. The kitchen is open, grounded by a center island, and you’ll find large common spaces and small quiet nooks. An office sits at the back of the house, and you’ll find a gas fireplace clad in brick in the living room. A magnificent curved staircase has its original banister, a work of art, and upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms. The primary is ensuite, lovely and large with a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. There is off street parking lined with cobblestone walls, and the double lot offers wonderful outdoor space. A wonderfully quiet corner just a 3m walk to the center of town and all that Hudson has to offer with its renowned restaurants & antique shops, and just up the road from the Amtrak train station. 102-104 North Fifth is completely turn key & done to a wonderfully high standard, just 2.5h north of NYC.
