La Maison - Stylish Schoolhouse near Hudson

Summary:
La Maison is a lovingly restored historic schoolhouse in the heart of the Hudson Valley, located 2.5 hours from NYC, just minutes from the city of Hudson.

Set on 3 private acres surrounded by woodlands, the home has 3 BRs and 1 full bath. Amenities include a fireplace, outdoor firepit, and access to the best hiking and dining in the region. The lively city of Hudson is under 10 minutes away. Antique shop, dine, and drink at the best our region has to offer!

The Space:
La Maison has the subtle charm of its original 1800’s schoolhouse, yet gorgeously updated with all modern amenities. Situated on a quiet country road, the property enjoys hillside views from its perch, then immediately slopes down into the woods and the creek below.

A dark facade gives way to a sunny interior. Enter into a cheery mudroom, with the first guest room, a queen, accessible immediately to the left. Continue on into the living room, featuring a projector with Smart TV access.

The living room opens up into a light filled dining room with access to the sun deck and magical creekside landscape beyond. Grill and dine al fresco on the main deck, and take in a sunset from the rooftop deck above.

Back inside, the dining room wraps back around into a fully stocked kitchen, featuring a propane fireplace. A couple of bar stools tastefully accent this room, just out of reach of the chef, and perfect for those who need to be near the culinary action.

Two more queen beds are housed upstairs - one in a generous, whitewashed master bedroom, and one in the upstairs loft landing. All bedrooms share one full bathroom, located downstairs off the kitchen.

Downhill from the house and nestled by the creek is the fire pit, ideal for late night drinks and storytelling. Located just minutes from Hudson, La Maison is an excellent destination for the design-conscious who are looking for a getaway with access to trendy dining, shops and outdoor adventures.

Other Things to Note:
A/C: In the summer, a window AC unit on the ground floor cools the main living areas, while a manual AC unit upstairs helps keep the top floor comfortable. Please note that the bedrooms do not have individual AC units, and the upstairs bedrooms do not have blinds.

Please note: Due to the well water, there can be a sulfur smell to the water which is typical of a country home.
