Welcome to Carlin Cottage, a turn-of-the-century residence in the heart of Historic Hudson, pairing original charm with design-forward, high-end updates. This three-bedroom, two-bath home features all-new systems and premium finishes, giving it timeless character just blocks from Warren Street. With a large fenced yard, off-street parking, and the option to purchase fully furnished, Carlin Cottage delivers a true turn-key experience.
The living room has tall ceilings, original wide-plank pine floors, and a decorative mantle, and is filled with natural light from four large windows. This space flows into an expansive eat-in kitchen outfitted with premium appliances, including a striking AGA dual-fuel range, Bosch dishwasher, and Smeg refrigerator. Custom soapstone countertops with an integrated drainboard provide both beauty and function, and a Devol pot rack adds character. A discreet washer and dryer nook, a pantry, and direct access to the private backyard extend the kitchen’s ease of daily living. Just off the living room, a full bathroom features a classic clawfoot tub, with designer Lutron lighting and antique push-button switches adding charming period detail.
Upstairs, a large primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring custom Moroccan Zellige tilework and an inviting soaking tub. Throughout, a new energy-efficient HVAC system, complete with heating, air conditioning, and a mini-split setup, ensures year-round comfort. The home’s structural integrity was enhanced with concrete and steel reinforcements to meet current code requirements, and all-new systems include updated electrical, plumbing, and a high-efficiency hot water heater.
Outside, the backyard features a stonework patio and a new deck. The landscaped yard includes an herb garden along with lilies, rhododendrons, irises, and a crab apple tree, setting the stage for long summer evenings and slow weekend mornings. Christina Salway, whose work has appeared in House Beautiful, The New York Times, and on the Magnolia Network, led the restoration, infusing Carlin Cottage with her distinctive blend of historical preservation and whimsical charm. Warren Street’s restaurants and shops are a few minutes on foot, and Amtrak’s Hudson station, with direct service to Penn Station, is less than ten minutes away. Grab coffee or a cocktail at The Maker, catch a show at Basilica Hudson, or take in river views from Promenade Hill Park. Set on a quiet one-way street, the home offers a sweet opportunity to put down roots in Historic Hudson.
