Peekskill, NY 10566
Description
Approaching 200 Nelson, a charming 1880 Second Empire Victorian in the heart of Peekskill's historic district, feels like traveling back to a more gracious time. Located on a leafy corner a block from Main St. shops and dining, the home offers 2,528 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space on a 6,534-square-foot lot with 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths. 200 Nelson's architectural character, curb appeal and recent updates fit seamlessly with the home's period charm. Peekskill offers a thriving arts community, many hiking and dining options-a peaceful river town just over an hour's commute to NYC. Crowned by a mansard roof and scalloped shingles, cornice brackets and dormers, the olive green with white trim exterior and soft blue door mirror surrounding foliage and sky. Follow the brick pathway from the front garden to wraparound porch with room for furniture, and a ceiling fan to keep cool in summer. Original parlor front doors and arched doorway feature a transom window, lit by a period lantern. A brick driveway with off-street parking for 2 cars leads to a fenced yard. Inside the sunny foyer-a grand staircase with original wood banister. Follow impeccable warm wood floors to the living room, with tall windows bringing abundant sunlight. Period details like 10-ft ceilings, ceiling medallions, and decorative mantels offer charm. Continue to the expansive formal dining room with bay windows, painted marble mantel and chandelier. The centrally located dining room connects to the library, kitchen, full bathroom and huge cellar. Next, an updated full bath, with a high window providing daylight and privacy, triple Broadway mirror with storage, vanity top, stylish tiling, bathtub with shower. The library, with French door providing a separate entrance to the porch, makes a sunny office, with 10-ft ceilings and daylight streaming through the triple bay windows, and through a fourth large window overlooking the garden. The room's comfortable year-round, with refurbished radiator, mini-split and ceiling fan. The elegantly updated kitchen, renovated 2025, features ten-foot ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, quartzite counters, marble slab backsplash, Moroccan unlacquered brass faucet, garbage disposal, stainless steel appliances, stackable Electrolux washer/dryer and mini-split. From the mud room off the kitchen to a tended, fully-fenced, backyard (2023) with a 15'x15' brick patio, the perfect spot to hear bird song each morning or stargaze at night. Established plantings, from a towering Norwegian maple to white hydrangea to roses, irises, and poppies make the garden a delight year-round. Up a grand staircase to the 2nd floor, find two big bedrooms, with three tall windows each, connected by a sunny dressing room. Throughout the home, find traces of the past, like an original built-in ironing board in one bedroom, hidden by a tiny door. The 2nd floor also has an updated full bathroom with a window, crema marble floors, enclosed standing shower, and working radiator. On the 3rd floor: three quiet bedrooms with dormer style windows, connected by a long hallway. Mini-splits and refurbished period radiators throughout keep the home temperature-controlled and comfortable. The home's temperature regulation uses WiFi-enabled smart thermostats. Whole-house water filtration system installed 2024. Natural gas connects from the street. Nearby, explore the vast nature of Depew Park's 191 acres of wooded walking trails, pool, basketball, tennis, and bocce courts. Check out Blue Mountain Reservation, a massive 1,538-acre park ideal for serious mountain bikers and hikers. Finish the last hour of your workday traveling along the Hudson River at sunset on the most scenic of the Metro North lines, arriving home to a turn-key historic home with space to relax, entertain and enjoy. Just 1 hour and 10 minutes from Grand Central Terminal to your river town home, at the gateway to all the Hudson Valley has to offer.
