Property Description
Historic Charm Meets Modern Luxury. Welcome to this brick home known as Eustatia (Greek for "good place to stay") which is a rare example of a Victorian Gothic-style cottage that has survived in Beacon, situated on Monell Place in the northwest corner of the city. It was constructed in 1867 according to Frederick Clarke Withers' plans for his friend John Monell, a state judge in New York (who is the namesake of the street today). Important features of this 5 bedroom 3.5 bath spectacular home are:-Original parquet floors, dark walnut moldings, and marble entry; Grand rooms with soaring ceilings and ornate fireplaces; Renovated kitchen and family room with sweeping valley views; Nanny suite and spa-like master bath for ultimate comfort. The carved details, the handcrafted floors, even the old stone foundation—all worth preserving as living history. That's the dream—rolling meadows, woodland privacy, and room to build your own personal paradise. Whether it's a pool for summer lounging, a tennis court for weekend matches, or a gazebo tucked into the trees for quiet reflection, this kind of acreage opens up endless possibilities. Metro North service from nearby Poughkeepsie (41 Main St) makes NYC commutes or weekend escapes a breeze. Quick access to Route 84 connects you to the wider Hudson Valley and beyond. Beacon's Main Street is a cultural magnet, with galleries, boutiques, and farm-to-table dining. Just minutes from Dia Beacon, one of the country's premier contemporary art museums. It's rare to find a property that blends natural beauty, architectural charm, and urban accessibility so seamlessly. With nearly 5 acres of rolling land and panoramic views of the Hudson River, Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, and twinkling city lights, it's a showstopper.
