About the Listing EXPRLT05 - 68383
Welcome to Academy House. Built in 1881, this distinguished Victorian residence is set along one of Poughkeepsie’s most admired tree-lined streets within the city’s Historic District. A gracious front porch introduces a home where original craftsmanship has been thoughtfully preserved while modern infrastructure provides the comfort and reliability expected today. The main level unfolds through a welcoming foyer into a collection of light-filled living and entertaining spaces, where generous proportions and beautifully preserved architectural details create a natural sense of flow. The dramatic horseshoe window in the grand living room is elegantly echoed in a remarkable set of pocket doors leading to the family room, a distinctive design feature that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout the home. A gracefully curved ceiling above the gathering area and the home’s signature curved glass windows further highlight its architectural character. Newly updated kitchen blends historic charm with modern function, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant workspace designed for everyday living and entertaining. Extensive infrastructure improvements provide confidence behind the walls while allowing the home’s original character to remain the focal point. Recent updates include an upgraded electrical system, replacement PVC plumbing throughout, updated main sewer piping, a newer roof, storm windows throughout the home, and a new water heater. Together, these improvements deliver the convenience and efficiency of modern living without compromising the home’s historic integrity. The second level is accessible by both the main staircase and a secondary staircase off the kitchen, offering a layout that reflects the home’s original design while enhancing everyday functionality. Six bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across the upper floors, including two spacious primary suites with beautifully renovated custom bathrooms. The remaining bedrooms are filled with natural light and enriched by original architectural details that continue the home’s timeless appeal. The finished and insulated third level offers exceptional flexibility, featuring an additional family room, two bedrooms, and a full updated bathroom. Whether used as guest accommodations, a home office, creative studio, or private retreat, this level provides versatile living space while maintaining the home’s historic character. Outside, the fully fenced backyard extends the living experience with space for outdoor dining, gardening, or quiet afternoons in a private setting. A detached two-car garage and newly paved driveway provide everyday convenience while complementing the property’s classic streetscape. Meticulously maintained throughout, Academy House offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship of a historic Victorian without the extensive restoration projects often associated with homes of this era. Positioned just minutes from Metro-North, Vassar College, Marist University, local hospitals, restaurants, cafés, and the growing cultural and dining destinations of downtown Poughkeepsie, the location offers exceptional convenience while remaining rooted in one of the city’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods. Academy House captures the elegance of 1881 with the infrastructure and functionality expected today, creating a residence where historic craftsmanship and modern living exist in effortless harmony.
