About this House

Rarely does a home offer this level of flexibility, quality craftsmanship, and unbeatable Beacon location—all in one exceptional property.

Completely reimagined through an extensive top-to-bottom renovation, this stunning home seamlessly blends timeless character with modern luxury, creating a truly move-in-ready residence designed for today's lifestyle. Every major component has been thoughtfully updated, including the kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof, windows, siding, insulation, flooring, and interior finishes, providing the comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind today's buyers appreciate.

Filled with natural light, the home offers spacious, beautifully designed living areas that are equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. The open-concept layout creates an inviting flow, while the enclosed front porch provides the perfect space to enjoy morning coffee, work from home, relax with a book, or unwind after exploring everything Beacon has to offer.

What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional versatility. Designed to adapt to a variety of lifestyles, it functions beautifully as one spacious single-family residence or, by simply closing a few interior doors, can be configured into three separate private living areas with their own exterior entrances. Whether you're looking for multigenerational living, private guest accommodations, home offices, creative studios, wellness spaces, or flexible living arrangements that evolve with your family's needs, this home offers possibilities rarely found in today's market.

Adding even more value, the property currently operates with an active Airbnb permit and is being offered fully furnished, creating a truly turnkey opportunity. The thoughtfully selected furnishings complement the home's design and allow the next owner to move in and immediately begin enjoying everything the property has to offer. Whether you're searching for a luxurious full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a furnished home with an established short-term rental history, this property is ready from day one. Buyers should verify future short-term rental requirements and permit transferability with the City of Beacon.

Outside, you'll appreciate the generous off-street parking provided by the oversized driveway, along with convenient back street driving access that allows easy entry and exit while avoiding much of Main Street traffic. These are everyday conveniences that are difficult to find this close to downtown Beacon.

The location is exceptional. Enjoy an easy walk to Beacon's vibrant Main Street, home to award-winning restaurants, cafés, breweries, boutique shopping, art galleries, live music, farmers markets, and year-round community events. The Metro-North train station is also within walking distance, providing a convenient commute to New York City while allowing you to enjoy the best of Hudson Valley living. Major highways are just minutes away, making travel throughout the region quick and convenient.

This is more than a beautifully renovated home—it's a property designed to grow with you. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, remarkable flexibility, an established Airbnb permit, turnkey furnishings, walkability to Main Street and Metro-North, generous parking, and an unbeatable Beacon location, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the city's most distinctive homes.

    "I drive about 35 minutes to work. There is often a lot of traffic on Rt 9d as there is only one lane and it backs up when the train let's out and also when there is construction on the Newburgh Beacon bridge which is apparently quite often. Beacon is growing and they need to expand on the infrastructure of roads to accommodate the mass influx of people or it will be all too city like before we know it. "

    "Beacon has become over crowded .. rents are too high even NYC now has cheaper rents .. you can’t go anywhere any longer that’s quiet . Schools are a mess , and main st is packed with tourists with ill manners on the weekends . New buildings have gone up all over the place for the past 10 years so there is never a quiet day without construction going on somewhere . Crowded parks and the mountain is now an attraction that is over run with city people with their stupid phones and garbage. "
