On a quiet, double-wide lot on lower Union St, the elegant yet understated, Federal, brick facade of 12 Union beckons with its unmistakable, radiant, red door. A gracious, full-depth center hall with vaulted ceilings and original, wide plank floors receives you and flows through to a stunning, 3-story curved staircase. The ground floor layout affords spacious formal living and dining rooms with fireplaces…eat-in, chef’s kitchen also with fireplace…and a library overlooking the residence’s rear courtyard. Climb the stairs to the second floor and you’ll find the primary bedroom with fireplace and ensuite marble bath with an oversized, floor-to-ceiling glass shower and chrome fixtures. Bedrooms 2 and 3 also boast their own fireplaces and share the separate, second bath just off the stair landing. One more curving flight of stairs to the third floor and a full, finished attic studio surprises with great light, vaulted ceilings, large laundry room, the home’s third full bath, and an additional, large cedar utility room. Back downstairs off the ground floor center hall, a covered rear porch and exterior staircase steps down gracefully to the beautifully landscaped garden courtyard with equal parts bluestone and pea stone. A large, gabled, timber canopy with custom lighting features prominently in the courtyard’s middle, flanked by matching pergolas for your vine-growing pleasure! And at the lot’s rear, fronting onto Cherry Alley, a 2-story carriage house affords the potential for three, off-street garage bays and awaits your creative reimagining and renovation. Lastly, the walk-out, dry basement provides for plenty of additional storage space, and boasts a walk-in, 1,500-bottle wine cellar and two more fireplaces. If you’ve been waiting to secure your own period stunner in downtown, historic Hudson…now’s your chance! Come make 12 Union your own!
