119 Academy Street Built in 1899, this stunning Queen Anne Victorian masterfully balances turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with thoughtful updates, offering a rare blend of history and character.. From the moment you enter onto the rocking chair front porch, you’ll be transported to an era of exquisite design and meticulous attention to detail. Inside, original Tiger Oak parquet floors, intricate millwork, and breathtaking stained glass windows set the stage for a home rich in architectural beauty. The grand bifurcated staircase with a curved railing is a true centerpiece, welcoming you into a space that seamlessly blends elegance and warmth. The main floor is designed for both grand entertaining and intimate gatherings, featuring two spacious living rooms with ornate fireplaces, intricate pocket doors, and period details throughout. A third living space—ideal as a formal dining room—flows into the butler’s pantry and kitchen, offering both charm and functionality. A rare first-floor full bathroom with a shower adds extra convenience, along with a second staircase leading upstairs. On the second level, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and a newly renovated full bath (2018), featuring marble tile floors, custom lighting, and updated plumbing. The partially finished attic offers incredible flexibility—perfect as a studio, office, possible primary suite or additional storage. Outside, the oasis-like backyard with in-ground pool is a pleasant surprise, while still keeping you close to everything that makes Poughkeepsie such an exciting place to live. You’re just down the street from The Walkway Over the Hudson, Goodnight Kenny, Hudson & Packard, Rossi’s Deli, and Vassar College. Poughkeepsie is a perfect launchpad to explore the Hudson Valley, with Beacon, Newburgh, New Paltz, Kingston, Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Hyde Park, and Millbrook all within 20 minutes. And whether you’re commuting or just craving a city escape, NYC is easily accessible via Metro-North or a 90-minute drive from the GWB.
