7 Van Houten Street

Description

Located within the charming and bucolic Van Houten's Landing Historic District of Upper Nyack, this distinctive early residence offers a rare opportunity to restore and personalize a home in one of the Hudson River's most enchanting waterfront enclaves. Believed to date to the early 19th century, the home enjoys ever-changing Hudson River views from much of the interior, overlooking the area's longstanding maritime setting and historic boatyard. Rich in character and awaiting its next steward to restore, update, and make it their own, this nearly 1,000 square foot home features a spacious second-floor bedroom, hardwood floors, generous living spaces, a welcoming covered porch, a walk-out basement with abundant storage, and a surprisingly spacious rear lawn overlooking the river. Just beyond your doorstep lies a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Walk to La Promenade Bakery for your morning coffee, bike or stroll to the trails of Hook Mountain State Park, or spend an evening enjoying nearby Nyack's celebrated restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and riverfront parks. Here, winding lanes, historic homes, the Hudson River, and a rich maritime heritage combine to create one of the region's most distinctive neighborhoods. Opportunities to own within this intimate and tightly held historic community are exceptionally rare, with the added benefit of remarkably affordable property taxes.
