Settled on a gentle rise along historic Old Albany Post Road, The Hilltop Cottage overlooks an expansive lawn that unfolds toward the tree line, where the silhouettes of Storm King and Bull Hill appear in the distance. Finished in a deep red, the residence carries a distinct sense of story and charm, having been thoughtfully updated to preserve its soulful character while introducing a more refined layer of comfort. Inside, the home feels grounded and intentional. Expanded Andersen windows draw the landscape of the Hudson Highlands into the living spaces, which are finished with sanded Red Oak floors. The kitchen has been fully reimagined, featuring a Bertazzoni induction and Bosch appliances alongside a custom oak island crafted by Bella Woodwork Design. Throughout the house, deliberate details like vintage rewired pendants, a functional new mudroom, and bespoke millwork add to the home’s historical feel. Practical upgrades include a whole-house water filter and updated electrical systems, ensuring the residence is as functional as it is charming. This property presents an exceptional opportunity to experience everything Garrison has to offer.
