Welcome to Wendover House, an 1862 brick Second Empire estate set on 8+ pastoral acres in the historic river town of Stuyvesant, a short stroll to the Hudson River. Built at the height of Hudson River trade, when Stuyvesant Landing operated as a major port and brick Second Empire residences were the mark of prosperity, Wendover House is defined by its original mansard roof and handsome brick facade. The home offers 3,448 square feet across three floors, a transformed original brick carriage house, a bluestone patio, above-ground pool, mature trees, and perennial gardens framed by a large and stunning hydrangea at the front of the house. Open lawns offer ample room for gardens, gatherings, or simply quiet Hudson Valley living, and the property feels both grounded in history and beautifully livable for today. Only ten minutes to Kinderhook, and fifteen to Hudson's renowned dining, shopping, and culture.
The generously proportioned rooms, with their oversized windows, speak to the wealth of the merchant families who built along this stretch of the Hudson in the 1860s. A classic rocking chair porch and a stately entry hall with a three-story staircase set the tone. Wide pine floors, soaring ceilings, original moldings, and rich brickwork run throughout. Two inviting living rooms and a formal dining room anchor the first floor, accompanied by a pantry, library nook, laundry room, and full bath. The open kitchen and dining space is fitted with an oversized island, a gas fireplace, and an exposed original brick wall, with a wall of windows overlooking the bluestone patio and the lush backyard beyond.
Up the grand staircase, three light-filled bedrooms and a full bath occupy the second floor, one currently serving as a home office. The finished third floor adds four additional rooms suited to a primary suite, guest accommodations, a gym, studio, or office space. One of the estate's most special features is the original brick carriage house, with a new roof and new flooring, transformed into an extraordinary flex space with soaring wood-beamed ceilings and a wood-burning stove, suited equally to an artist's studio, entertaining pavilion, or creative workspace. A detached garage, an above-ground pool with deck, a half-court basketball blacktop easily converted to pickleball or tennis, and a large fenced yard round out the practical offerings.
The grounds include black walnut, maple, hickory, and fruit trees, as well as other native species, perennial beds, and open lawns. The property is walkable to the Hudson River, a kayak launch, and beloved local destinations including Pico De Gallo. The Village of Kinderhook is ten minutes away, Hudson and its Amtrak station fifteen, and New York City two and a half hours by car. The home is available furnished.
