Artist's romantic 1893 Queen Ann Victorian home shows off the delightful architecture of the era, both grand and fanciful. The cathedral ceilinged foyer opens to a sweeping staircase wall lined with stained glass windows; French Doors lead to a light filled double parlor with bay windows and a pristine fireplace. From the rear of the foyer is the formal dining room featuring a wall of tall bay windows with window seat. A vintage hanging lighting fixture reflects over the formal fireplace. The large eat in kitchen is well equipped with recent appliances and extra service sink for casual entertaining with space for a large table. A broad covered porch overlooks a deep rear property. The second floor oversized Master Bedroom sitting room with decorative fireplace is framed by tall windows. Three other bedrooms, two bathrooms terminate in a four season porch in the Victorian style. Third floor two bedrooms provide privacy sinks and a shared separate toilet room. A vaulted unfinished space inspires a dreamer's fancy, has access to the widow's walk on the roof. The home's decor is lighthearted and charming. Located in the Academy Garfield Historic District and is convenient to the burgeoning restoration of Poughkeepsie's cultural, entertainment life, River Front development, Walkway over the Hudson, Empire bikeway and Historic Metro North railroad station ninety minutes from Manhattan.
