This striking Greek Revival home sits on a quiet road lined with ancient maple and oak trees, just along the peaceful outskirts of Hudson's historic district. Perched atop a grassy knoll, Willard Place has far-reaching views of the Catskill Mountains and some of the Hudson Valley's most vibrant sunsets. Willard Place was built only twenty years ago yet was modeled perfectly after the stately Greek Revival homes so beloved among early 19th-century American architects. The front view of the exterior is quite dignified - four soaring Doric columns and classical cornicing are softened by a second-floor balcony and romantic French doors. A hidden driveway brings you to the fenced, brick-paved courtyard behind the home, where a diverse range of flowering bushes have been cultivated alongside giant evergreens. The ground floor is thoroughly elegant, with soaring 12-foot ceilings, epically tall Marvin windows, and rooms of grand proportions. Expertly curated light fixtures, primarily rare antiques collected over many years, are peppered throughout the home. Cozy, grounding touches come in the form of the home's two Egyptian-marble-clad fireplaces, its deep-colored Brazillian cherry floors, and solid, beautifully constructed mahogany doors. The kitchen, drenched in incredible sunlight each afternoon, is custom and handmade in Wiltshire by the British kitchen design studio Smallbone. A Lacanche range from their Vougeot line has a vertical warming cupboard and aged brass detailing. All appliances are Miele and discreetly built into the kitchen cabinetry. Completing the ground floor is a powder room adorned with Farrow & Ball wallpaper and glossy wainscoting. The upstairs is light-filled and exceptionally peaceful. The expansive primary suite comprises half of the second-floor footprint and includes a sitting room, tucked-away sleeping alcove, and a master bath with built-in laundry. Three French doors with intricate brass hardware lead to the primary suite's balcony and the home's lush mountain views. A second guest suite with a full bath sits opposite the primary and is currently used as an upper-floor lounge room. The third bedroom is presently a flex office/guest space. On a dead-end road surrounded by some of Hudson's most prominent historic homes, Willard Place perfectly balances town and country living. Just a few minutes from Warren Street, there is truly an endless amount of cultural, culinary, and creative offerings moments from your doorstep.
