15 Hudson St  •  Kinderhook

This early gambrel-roofed Dutch house is an 18th century gem in one of the prettiest villages in Columbia County.

Kinderhook was one of the earliest settlements and one of the wealthiest, with so much exquisite architecture, both domestic and commercial, reflecting the style and substance of the community.

The hand-made clay brick facade of this house is expressive of its integrity and importance and is as solid and refined as it is elegant; this is a structure built to last the centuries. The wide entrance hall features one of the loveliest staircases we have seen and is just one of the many features that make this property so desirable.

Lovely fireplaces grace many of the rooms both on the main level as well as in some of the upstairs bedrooms. The proportions of the reception rooms are large and graceful, and the modern kitchen is well designed and comfortable with all new appliances. The original kitchen, now the 'Snuggery', is nearly unchanged from 1730 and is a cozy retreat centered by the huge fireplace and beehive oven. A small room lined with glass fronted book shelves connects the snuggery to the rear parlor, the powder room and an independent laundry room.

The gracious main staircase rises to a wide second floor landing leading to four bedrooms two full bathrooms and an office. An additional room could serve as another smaller office or nursery bedroom.

Steeped in history, this house has been updated for modern living without compromising its architectural integrity and historic sense of place. A large lawn can accommodate a pool if need be and the period carriage house is fully usable as a garage and a pool pavilion.
