Welcome to the Irwin House! This charming 1930s custom home was built by master artisans with thoughtful design and a bright floor plan, which was highlighted in an edition of Home and Gardens. Its light and bright interior features spacious rooms, hidden nooks, and special details throughout. The front door opens to an impressive two-story foyer with a winding staircase and a view through to the pool out back. To the right is the recently renovated kitchen, providing modern convenience while retaining the period’s character. Past the kitchen island is the dining room, with its lighted, built-in china cabinet and ample space for a large seating dining set and buffet. Rounding out the first floor are a den with shelving, a sizable living room featuring a bay window and fireplace, and a half bath for guests, located off the foyer.
Upstairs is a generous primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, an ensuite bath that includes custom Italian tile, a large walk-in shower, plus two cedar storage compartments and a built-in drawer. The opposite side features another primary-sized bedroom and a quintessential gem of a 1930s bathroom with amazing tile, fixtures, and a soaking bath with a shower that will make you swoon! In combination, they could create a second primary with the middle bedroom as an office, or use them separately as they have been. The basement offers an array of possibilities. There is a large finished flex space, previously used as an office, a third full bathroom which can be recommissioned, a laundry room, storage space, and a walk-up to the pool.
Outside, you’ll find beautiful and easy-to-maintain perennial landscaping, fencing, stone steps, pathways, and ample space surrounding the refreshing pool, creating an oasis for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying a cup of coffee with a sunrise view over the river to start your day.
Not only is the home fabulous, but its community is incredibly welcoming and has so much to offer. It is nestled in the vibrant Reed Street Historical District perched on the west bank of the Hudson River which has undergone many recent preservation projects and improvements like the impressive, five acre Riverside Park with state boat and kayak launch, expanded docks, a boat washing station, plus a playground, basketball court, bathrooms, and EV charging station, which hosts the Coxsackie Farmers Market and Music in the Park summer concert series, as well as, the addition of the James Newbury Hotel that boosts a tavern, rooftop restaurant and bar with outdoor patio with breathtaking riverfront views, a spa, and a gorgeous adjoining event center. These improvements, combined with a variety of vibrant small shops and restaurants, including antiques, a general store with specialty groceries, a bookstore cafe with winebar and cocktails, a florist, a creamery, and a stationery store, as well as a bistro and deli, make this a lively community with a firm hold on its historical roots.
Improvements made over the last two years include a new roof, exterior painting, fencing, landscaping, hardscaping stone work around the pool, pathways, front/back stairs, exterior French drains, HVAC with an air purifier, cellar floors, and a kitchen remodel featuring new appliances.
