127 Mt Merino Road

Introducing The Mayor’s House. Built in 1836 by Oliver Wiswall, this stately Greek Revival home sits perched upon a hillside just outside of Hudson, NY in the coveted Mt Merino neighborhood with legendary views up the Hudson River. Pulling into the tree lined driveway and turning to the West, it’s easy to see why this area inspired a generation of artists known as the Hudson River School of Painters, the first native school of painting in the United States. The solid brick home retains the grand feeling of its original prominence with dentil moldings, Doric & Ionic order columns and three stories of living space plus a full basement. The main floor boast high ceilings, beautiful restored moldings, 2 front sitting rooms with fireplaces and a large dining room. A striking 1980’s addition is connected to the rear of the house with a 20+ foot vaulted ceiling and features a modern kitchen, pantry area with laundry, casual dining, sitting area, and access to a stone patio to enjoy the jaw dropping views. Upstairs find a primary ensuite, additional bed and ensuite bath. A third floor provides two additional bedrooms, a third full bath and den. Wood floors, big windows, tons of natural light and views throughout. A recent renovation includes all new heating and cooling, new roof, new septic tank, new kitchen and baths, new landscaping and driveway, new fixtures and finishes. The property is just under 40 acres of open lawn surrounding the home and woods in the back. Located under 2 miles to Warren Street in Hudson, convenient to the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, Amtrak Train, Olana and many of the Hudson Valley’s most popular destinations.
