Property Description
Step into a piece of history with this extraordinary Victorian beauty, gracefully positioned in the heart of Beacon and offered for the first time since 1984. Built circa 1890, this remarkable three-story home has been lovingly owned by only three families throughout its storied existence, creating a rare opportunity to own a true gem. The Florence House is nothing but calm, elegant and timeless.
Masterfully redesigned by Faust Design Build, this 2,700 sqft residence represents the perfect marriage of historical grandeur and contemporary luxury. The thoughtful renovation honors the home's Victorian heritage while introducing modern conveniences that elevate everyday living. Offered completely turnkey and sold furnished, you can simply move in and begin enjoying upstate NY life immediately.
As you enter the circular foyer, the stunning original oak paneling and staircase immediately takes you to a time gone by. The main floor showcases a stunning designer kitchen with beautiful white oak floors and MSI quartz countertops, complemented by an impeccable Portmore tile backsplash. The culinary centerpiece features brand-new stainless steel appliances, including a striking double-sided island perfect for preparation and casual dining. Thoughtful details like recessed lighting and custom cabinetry demonstrate meticulous attention to both form and function.
The dining room serves as the perfect connector between kitchen and living room, creating seamless flow for entertaining. The dining room and adjacent living room captivate with their original parquetry white oak floors and wide windows that flood the space with natural light. A charming powder room featuring historical blue beadboard wainscoting adds upscale functionality.
The second floor boasts beautiful original wood floors and houses the luxurious main bedroom with a large arched-top window that creates a light-filled sanctuary, and generous walk-in closet space. The main bathroom serves as a spa-like retreat with its wooden vanity topped with marble countertops housing two undermount sinks, a spacious walk-in shower with white herringbone ceramic tile walls, and white marble flooring. The piece de resistance is the stunning original white clawfoot bathtub that perfectly bridges historic charm with modern luxury. Another peaceful bedroom features sage green board and batten and toile wallpaper. The home's distinctive turret houses a bright office space, offering the perfect retreat for work or contemplation.
The third floor expands versatility with two cozy bedrooms and full bathroom featuring vintage vanity set against striking geometric floor tiles. The third-floor turret creates an ideal children's playroom or nursery.
Set on an expansive 7,405 sqft lot, the property boasts mature landscaping including original brick patio and bluestone pathways, complemented by stone benches and stunning trees like Japanese cherry and redbud alongside abundant perennials. The wraparound porch, complete with enclosed sunroom, provides a perfect setting for leisure. A private deck accessible from the kitchen offers ideal entertaining space with stairs leading to the backyard's "secret garden", while the detached original carriage house could serve as studio space.
Comprehensive renovation includes all new plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems, plus premium Delta fixtures, new Andersen windows, and roof, ensuring worry-free ownership. Second-floor laundry adds practical luxury.
Located minutes from Beacon's Main Street and Dia: Beacon museum, one block from country club/golf course with Metro-North access three minutes away and Manhattan 90 minutes south. The Florence House represents more than a home—it's your gateway to the dreamy Hudson Valley lifestyle, complete with every furnishing already in place.
