1131 Main Street, Malden on Hudson, NY 12453

A Piece of Hudson Valley History, Reimagined for Modern Living. This magnificent 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath estate in Malden-on-Hudson is truly exceptional. Once home to John C. Maxwell of the renowned North River Blue Stone Works, the home has been comprehensively restored, giving you contemporary comfort and peace of mind without sacrificing an ounce of original character. A wraparound porch opens to a grand oak staircase and a front-to-back living room with hardwood floors, a Harman pellet stove, and one of two included vintage grand pianos. Cathedral ceilings flood the kitchen with afternoon light, while the granite countertops, center island, custom cabinets, and six-burner Viking Range make cooking and hosting a dream. A sitting room with Vermont Castings wood stove flows naturally from the kitchen, the heart of the house. A formal dining room, study (in use as a playroom), and sun-drenched solarium complete the main floor. Upstairs, a glass-framed hallway with seasonal Hudson River views opens to a private living room -- a quiet retreat from the entertaining spaces below -- and a primary suite with bay windows, clawfoot tub, and standalone rainfall shower. Two additional large bedrooms complete the level. The fully finished third floor expands the possibilities with three more generous bedrooms and two baths, including a front-to-back primary suite with office space and a sky lit bathroom. A kitchenette and reading corner anchor the upstairs hallway, while central air throughout the floor ensures year-round comfort.Outside, two-plus acres include fifteen fruit-bearing trees (peaches! plums! apples! pears!), a deer-proof vegetable garden with raised beds, berry bushes, herbs, and a small fish and frog pond. A two-car garage doubles as a workshop; a sky lit potting shed awaits the serious gardener. A five-minute walk reaches the Hudson River. Set in a picturesque, walkable hamlet, just minutes from I-87, the Village of Saugerties, and HITS. Twenty minutes to Kingston or Woodstock. Electrical, plumbing, roof, drywall, spray foam insulation, four heating zones with forced air and radiant heat, and two high-efficiency on-demand boilers all replaced or added within the past 7 years.
