Some homes ask you to choose between being close to everything and feeling like you've escaped it. At 5 Harry Howard Avenue, you don't have to. Five minutes from Warren Street on foot, this thoughtfully renovated home offers a lifestyle that's increasingly rare in Hudson. Start your morning at your favorite café, wander through the city's celebrated boutiques and galleries, meet friends for dinner, then return home to a backyard that feels more like the edge of the countryside than a home just five minutes from Warren Street. Set on an oversized lot that feels worlds apart from its downtown location, the property offers an uncommon sense of privacy, with a peaceful wooded backdrop and outdoor spaces designed to be enjoyed in every season. Spend summer evenings entertaining, tending the garden, or unwinding in the private outdoor spa beneath the covered gazebo, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the trees. It's the kind of setting that makes you forget you're only minutes from one of the Hudson Valley's most vibrant downtowns. Inside, thoughtful renovations blend timeless style with everyday comfort. The beautifully redesigned kitchen features new appliances, while the updated bathroom offers a spacious walk-in shower. Recent improvements include new roofs on both the house and garage, an upgraded 200-amp electrical service with electric vehicle charging capability, new concrete walkways, new front fencing, and numerous additional updates that allow you to move in and simply enjoy. The lower level adds valuable everyday functionality with a spacious laundry area and an additional room ready to serve your needs, whether as a home office, fitness room, hobby space, media room, or quiet retreat. Adding to the property's appeal, the detached two-car garage offers far more than parking. For buyers dreaming of a future artist's studio, workshop, home office, or private guest retreat, it presents an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special, subject to buyer verification and any required approvals. This is Hudson at its best. Five minutes to Warren Street. A world away once you're home.
