The Leader Building is a beautifully renovated historic brick townhouse offering luxurious living, and additional retail and short term rental income. Set on the vibrant 300 block of Warren Street in the thriving City of Hudson, this distinctive property comprises three unique spaces: an expansive four-bedroom, five-bathroom owners duplex residence on the second and third stories, a two-story carriage house residence which is operated as a successful Airbnb, and a large income-producing ground floor retail space with beautiful historic details. Located on the best block of Warren Street - restaurants, galleries, and independent shops are just steps away.
Built in 1897 and fully renovated in 2017, the property spans more than 6,500 square feet in total. The renovation pairs exposed brick, hand-hewn timbers, and trim crafted from salvaged historic lumber with modern comforts, including new hardwood flooring, Pella windows, air conditioning, on-demand boilers, and voice-controlled lighting.
The main residence occupies the second and third floors, and features a generous open-concept living space with high ceilings, exposed beams, and even a residential elevator! The spacious living room overlooks Warren Street to the front, and flows into the dining area and kitchen beyond. The dining area boasts a gas fireplan, and an impressive built in wet bar - a beautiful touch for entertaining and celebratory gatherings of all kinds. The chef's kitchen combines marble countertops with a Viking range, Bosch dishwasher, True refrigeration, and a wood-fired pizza oven.
Each of the four bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom, all featuring classic hex and subway tiles. One suite is located on the second floor, and includes a kitchenette and its own entrance from the rear deck, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or even additional potential rental use. On the third floor, the spacious primary suite features a gas fireplace, a large soaking tub, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional en-suite bedrooms and a spacious covered porch complete this level. The rear porch is a beautiful outdoor retreat with planting boxes, a gas fireplace, and most importantly views overlooking the historic buildings on Union Street - and with the Catskill mountains on the horizon.
At the rear of the property along Cherry Alley, the original brick carriage house has been transformed into a distinctive two-level, one-bedroom residence. Exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and a dramatic skylight define the open living and dining area and galley kitchen. Upstairs, the bedroom suite includes a full bathroom, gas fireplace, and large soaking tub. Connected to the townhouse by deck walkways and a staircase, the carriage house offers independent guest or in-law accommodations, or the opportunity to continue as a successful Airbnb or as an attractive and in-demand long term rental unit.
On the ground floor, an 2,000-square-foot retail space anchors the property, and features an impressive plate-glass storefront. Historic details include the iconic ''The Leader'' stained-glass transom, pressed-tin ceilings, skylights, original hardwood floors, and plaster walls. The effect is memorable, and the retail space is extremely desirable on the most popular and well-traveling block on Warren Street.
The Leader Townhouse is a one of a kind opportunity in Hudson - to live overhead free in a beautifully appointed townhome residence, while the income from the guests / tenants in the successful rental units can pay all the bills. Hudson dreamers and investors alike are invited to schedule a visit!
