[Permit: 2024-0027-STR] The space Discover this stunning two-bedroom apartment in a historic 1870 brick building, gut-renovated in 2022 under the direction of renowned Hudson Valley designer Simone Eisold and art by award winning Beacon nature photographer Amanda Means. Enjoy the perfect blend of curated interiors, modern amenities, and a remarkable natural setting steps from downtown Beacon. - The Space - The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area creates an airy, light-filled retreat. The brand-new kitchen features top-to-bottom upgrades: new cabinetry, stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator with ice maker and water filter, dishwasher, plus ample counter space and all the essentials (coffee maker with supplies, toaster, cookware, and full dish sets). The dining area showcases an iconic Eero Saarinen marble tulip table with seating for four under a dimmable pendant light. Relax in the living room on an Ethan Allen leather sofa with coffee table, armchair, and mounted 40" Roku TV. Two large windows frame views of Fishkill Creek and Mt. Beacon. The spacious primary bedroom offers a queen bed, dual closets, nightstands, dresser, and a desk perfect for remote work. The cozy second bedroom features exposed brick walls, a full/double bed, nightstands, small dresser, and an oversized closet. The updated bathroom includes a full tub and a generous window overlooking the creek and mountain beyond. - The Backyard - Your Creekside Sanctuary - Step into a different world. The shared backyard (newly built in 2024) feels like a private nature escape despite being minutes from Main Street. A covered pavilion features three built-in double-sized chaise lounges with custom cushions and a gas fire pit surrounded by seating for eight. A seasonal stream flows alongside the yard, under the historic railway tracks, and into Fishkill Creek. Views stretch across the water to mossy forest and the Mt. Beacon ridge. With no residential neighbors behind the property the space is especially peaceful - perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or stargazing by the fire. - Location & The Secret Path to Town - Here's what makes this location truly special: behind the building run abandoned railway tracks (the future Beacon Rail Trail) alongside Fishkill Creek. Cross the charming footbridge over the stream and take the scenic 10-minute creekside walk directly to Main Street, The Roundhouse, and Beacon's famous waterfall. No need for a car - you'll arrive in the heart of Beacon's galleries, restaurants, and shops via one of the most beautiful walks in the Hudson Valley. Wildlife sightings are common: deer, blue herons, hawks, ducks, geese, and many songbird species (birders: bring the Merlin app!). - Upgrade Your Stay - Premium Patio with Hot Tub - Want to take your Beacon getaway to the next level? Ask about renting the private patio - an elevated outdoor sanctuary with even more spectacular views of Mt. Beacon and Fishkill Creek. This premium add-on features a hot tub, outdoor shower, spacious sectional sofa, large dining table with built-in seating, and a full outdoor bar with sink and mini-fridge. Perfect for romantic weekends, special occasions, or simply indulging in the ultimate outdoor relaxation. Not shown in listing photos - message me for availability, pricing, and photos. - The Best of Both Worlds - From the front, this is a charming historic building on a commercial street. Out back, you're immersed in nature with creek views, forest, and mountain vistas. It's a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and walkable urban convenience. - Booking Note - This apartment books quickly due to its design, location, and value. If you're seeing your dates available, you are in luck! Guest access The entire 2BR apartment is all yours. No other guests have access to any part of it. There are two outdoor spaces: 1) The BACK YARD. The back yard (seen in photos on this listing) features a covered seating area with 3 built-in, two-person chaise lounges and a gas fire pit. The seating area has views of Mt Beacon and access to the abandoned tracks on which you can walk to Main St. This space is alongside the house and has a small seasonal stream running through it. It's great for reading, relaxing, bird watching and nature viewing. The gas fire pit is for ambiance and heat, but not cooking. The back yard is open to guests in all 3 units of the building for free. 2) The PATIO. The patio (not shown in the listing photos) is a covered structure behind the house overlooking the abandoned tracks, Fishkill creek, and Mt Beacon. The patio has a dining area with built in seating, a sectional couch, a bar with a sink and mini fridge, an outdoor shower and a hot tub. This space is available *only by private reservation* at an ADDITIONAL COST. Message me for more info. Please do not attempt to access the patio unless you have reserved it. Behind the property there are abandoned railway tracks, a small forested wetland, and Fishkill creek. The tracks are all used by the general public - although the location and lack of neighbors makes it nearly private for my guests. There is an electric bike shop (sales and rentals) right next door. Many of my guests rent bikes from them to explore Beacon and the Hudson Valley. We are actively working on various landscaping projects in and around the outdoor spaces. At any given time you may see us working or evidence of ongoing work. Other things to note This apartment is the entire second floor of the building. There are 4 apartments in the building, which is on a major road. You will hear some amount of road noise from about 8am until 7pm. It gets much quieter after about 7pm.
