59 Hill St Saugerties, NY 12477

Some houses are known by address. Others are known on sight...they're iconic. Perched prominently at 59 Hill Street, this stately 1825 home has long been part of the local landscape, a familiar landmark to generations of area residents and visitors who have merely passed by. Yet, what few realize is what lies beyond its recognizable façade: remarkable views stretching across the Esopus Creek to the lighthouse, and Hudson River, to the east, giving this historic village home an extraordinary and unexpected sense of place. Inside, the four bedroom, three and a half-bath residence unfolds through a series of gracious rooms shaped by two centuries of history. High ceilings, wood floors, substantial moldings, French doors, built-in cabinetry and period details create an architectural richness that is timeless, and increasingly difficult to find. Generous living and dining rooms recall an era when homes were designed for gathering and entertaining, while intimate sitting rooms, enclosed porches and window filled spaces offer quieter places to read, work or watch the light move across the landscape. The four bedrooms are spacious in scale, and three full baths and one half bath provide a level of flexibility rarely found in a home of this vintage. Throughout the house, character reveals itself in the details: an intricate ceiling, a graceful doorway, an unexpected bank of windows, beautifully aged floors and rooms that seem to hold stories of their own. With its remarkable scale, architectural character and singular setting, 59 Hill Street offers an exceptional foundation for its next chapter. This is not a home that needs to be reinvented. It merely wants a new steward with the vision to reveal, restore and reimagine what has always made it very special. Built in 1825, recognized by nearly everyone who knows this corner of Saugerties, and quietly holding one of the village's best-kept secrets, views of the Esopus Creek and the Hudson River, with its antique lighthouse, owning 59 Hill Street offers a rare opportunity to become part of the story of an iconic home and carry it forward for another generation.
