This stunning Queen Anne Victorian offers a unique opportunity to enjoy summer in the Hudson Valley. Originally built in 1900, the home has recently undergone a complete renovation transforming this Victorian into a high-end modern luxury experience. Arrive via the stately center hall, flanked by two parlors. The southern parlor – drenched in sunlight — opens to a formal dining room centered around a gas-burning fireplace. A bar and butler’s pantry lead from the dining room to a gourmet kitchen that features SubZero appliances. The northern parlor strikes a moody balance with luxurious furnishings and abuts an equally lavish den anchored by another gas-burning fireplace. A stunning full bath — tucked between the kitchen and den — rounds out the offerings on the first floor. The grand staircase ascends to a generous second floor landing flanked by two ensuite guest bedrooms and a primary suite that boasts a library. The primary bath is oversized and lavish, featuring two pedestal sinks, a soaking tub and large shower. The fourth ensuite bedroom is located down a short hall that runs off the landing. A separate carriage house offers three bedrooms and two full baths, as well as a gourmet Viking kitchen. Sited between the main home and the carriage house is a heated gunite saltwater pool and hot tub. An outdoor kitchen and pavilion ensure perfect summer days spent poolside. Offered for the month of August, this designer home is fully-furnished and finished with the highest standards of taste. Situated in the heart of Athens village on 1. 08 acres, the home is both opulent yet accessible. Walk to shops, cafes, restaurants and the Hudson River waterfront. Asking $40k for the month of August (8/01 – 9/02); utilities included; $10k refundable deposit.
