Perfectly situated on the historic River Road on the Hudson River and equidistant from the center of bustling Hudson and charismatic Kinderhook lies the Garrett Sickles House. Constructed in 1820 and treated to a four-year restoration program completed in 2023, this home presents perfect symmetry of historic provenance and modern convenience that has been featured in Wallpaper*, Upstate House and other design magazines. Inside, original details are found everywhere from lavishly wide floorboards and chestnut ceiling beams to original moldings and an early American fireplace. New elements include two new chimneys, roof, septic tank, leech field, plumbing, oil tank, electrical system, appliances, Generac backup power system, and custom Marvin Signature Ultimate windows. On the first floor, a newly designed kitchen features a massive green soapstone island that’s ideal for preparing a holiday meal or gathering to chat with friends, and a wall-to-wall window allows the natural setting of fields and trees to interact with an opposing wall of antique mirrors. A professional grade, French door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and oversized Verona stove make cooking and hosting guests a breeze. The dining room features a new wood burning stove, foot-wide floorboards, beautiful wall coverings and dramatic lighting. The golden and earthy tones continue to the living room where symmetrical design makes the working fireplace the focus and six-over-six windows allow the western sunset to bathe the space in natural light. Off the living room, a beautiful bathroom finished in green concrete features handmade plumbing, an original and fully restored clawfoot tub and a custom concrete sink. Adjacent, a home office sits on the southeast corner of the home with windows on both sides, making it the perfect place to focus and find inspiration. Upstairs, the color palette lightens. A guest bedroom with its own private staircase has two built-in beds and allows guests privacy and seclusion. The main bedroom is oversized with large windows on three sides. Cross breezes keep the space cool in the summer, and the internal chimney warms the home on winter nights. A second bedroom adjoins the main bedroom, as does a custom bathroom featuring Waterworks fixtures, a deep soaking tub, a double sink and floor to ceiling handmade Spanish tiles. Outside, the original cedar facade of the home was hand restored and finished. An inviting porch on the front of the house and a larger one on the back makes for the perfect setting to read a great book or share in conversation with friends. There is never a loss of things to do at the Garrett Sickles house. Warren Street in Hudson is a short drive and features a number of highly-regarded restaurants, art galleries and clothing stores.
