Dobrodošli u Fort Hill House, savršenu kuću u stilu Craftsman iz 1923. godine smještenu na mirnom uglu u Povijesnoj četvrti Nelson Avenue–Fort Hill u Peekskillu. Nalazi se samo sat vremena sjeverno od New Yorka, ovaj šarmantni dom nudi dva puna kata s originalnim karakterom, promišljenim ažuriranjima i dvorištem koje nagrađuje svako godišnje doba.

Natkriveni ulazni trijem otvara se u prostrani hodnik i dnevni boravak s radnim kaminom i originalnim okvirom. Upravni stropovi i široki drveni podovi prolaze kroz oba kata, a kohezivni drveni detalji i originalni drveni radovi daju kući tiho arhitektonsko jedinstvo. Sunčana formalna blagovaonica povezana je s renoviranom kuhinjom s ostavom i polu kupaonicom. Na gornjem katu nalaze se tri spavaće sobe, od kojih jedna ima prostranu garderobu, te lijepo renovirana kupaonica s kadom i lijepim pločicama. Novi perilica rublja i sušilica završavaju gornji kat, a novi prozori su instalirani 2024. godine.

Izvana, dvokatno dvorište jedno je od najpromišljenijih u susjedstvu. Široka terasa od plavog kamena čini osnovu donjeg kata, dok korakovi obrasli bršljanom vode do terase s vatrom i travnate gornje površine, djelomično zasjenjene s panoramskim pogledom na brežuljke. Odvojena garaža za dva automobila i parkiranje izvan ceste nalaze se na stražnjoj strani imanja. Vrtovi su pažljivo zasađeni: crnoprva susan, ehinaceja, mliječ, kamenčić, lukovica i četiri hortenzije, uključujući drvo hortenzije, ispunjavaju stražnji vrt uz jagode, ružmarin i majčinu dušicu. Redovi božura ocrtavaju ogradu, grmlje jorgovana okružuje prednji i bočni dio kuće, a ružičasti dogwood eksplodira bojama svakog proljeća.

Fort Hill susjedstvo u Peekskillu nalazi se jedan blok od povijesnog Fort Hill Parka i nekoliko koraka od kazališta Paramount Hudson Valley, Riverfront Greena i šetljivog centra grada s kafićima i restoranima koji su učinili ovaj grad jednim od najslađih i najmirnijih zajednica u dolini Hudson. S postajom Peekskill Metro-North udaljenom pet minuta i Grand Central Terminalom nešto više od sat vremena vlakom, Fort Hill House nudi povijesni karakter i izvanredan život na otvorenom s jednostavnom povezanošću s gradom.

Welcome to Fort Hill House, a picture-perfect circa 1923 Craftsman-style house on a quiet corner in Peekskill's Nelson Avenue–Fort Hill Historic District. Situated just one hour north of New York City, this charming home offers two full floors of original character, thoughtful updates, and a backyard that rewards every season.

The covered front porch opens to a gracious entry and a living room anchored by a working fireplace with its original mantel. Coffered ceilings and wide hardwood floors carry through both levels, and cohesive wood trim and original millwork give the home a quiet architectural integrity. The sun-filled formal dining room connects to a renovated kitchen with pantry and half bath. The upper level has three bedrooms, one with a generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated full bathroom with soaking tub and handsome tilework. A new washer and dryer complete the upper floor, and new windows were installed in 2024.

Outside, the dual-level backyard is among the most considered in the neighborhood. A broad bluestone patio anchors the lower level, with ivy-covered steps rising to a fire pit terrace and grassy upper area, partially shaded and opening to panoramic hilltop views. A detached two-car garage and off-street parking sit at the back of the property. The gardens have been planted with care: black-eyed susan, coneflower, milkweed, stonecrop, allium, and four hydrangeas, including a hydrangea tree, fill the back garden alongside strawberry, rosemary, and thyme. A row of peonies line the fence, lilac bushes frame the front and side of the house, and a pink dogwood explodes with color each spring.

Peekskill's Fort Hill neighborhood sits one block from historic Fort Hill Park, and steps from the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, Riverfront Green, and a walkable downtown with cafés and restaurants that have made the city one of the Hudson Valley's most vibrant and peaceful communities. With the Peekskill Metro-North station five minutes away and Grand Central Terminal just over an hour by train, Fort Hill House delivers historic character and exceptional outdoor living with an easy connection to the city.
