Summit Cottage proves that historic craftsmanship never goes out of style. This circa 1920 Victorian in Philmont’s historic district has been tastefully upgraded with modern systems, while preserving its original charm. The three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath home features a bright kitchen with butcher block counters, crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and subway tile backsplash. Hardwood floors and fresh paint carry throughout, and a dining nook is warmed by a wood-burning stove.
Upstairs, comfortable bedrooms showcase original wood trim and vintage paneled doors. The basement includes a finished room with built-in cabinets that can flex as a yoga space, office, or studio, as well as a utility and storage room. A tiered 800-square-foot deck extends the living space outdoors, and is shaded by majestic black walnut trees overlooking a peaceful backyard with a lawn, perfect for weekend barbecues. A detached garage with built-in shelving adds practical storage for tools or hobbies.
Recent upgrades include a new roof, furnace, hot water heater, electrical updates, refinished floors, and new appliances, giving modern ease to a century-old home. Philmont is an up-and-coming village, with the new Mill event space and the developing Rail Trail set to draw energy and visitors. High Falls Conservation Area offers waterfall hikes minutes away, Hudson is close for restaurants and culture, and NYC is within easy reach via the Taconic. Summit Cottage is a move-in ready chance to own a historic home in a Hudson Valley community on the rise.
