Immaculate, low-maintenance, architecturally thoughtful, and in walking distance to the train - 18 James Street is a rare opportunity to own a fully-modernized, historic home in one of the Hudson Valley's most charming river hamlets. Originally a historic colonial built prior to 1900, this home has been fully gut renovated and seamlessly expanded to preserve its early character while introducing a new architectural addition. Every system and finish has been thoughtfully addressed: all new Marvin windows and doors, full HVAC with Nest climate control, cast iron radiators, new condenser, low maintenance costs. At approximately 1,200 square feet, the design lives far larger than its footprint "” efficient, intentional, completely turnkey. Inside, Scandinavian restraint meets Hudson Valley warmth. Wide pine floors (including original old-growth upstairs), Douglas fir beams, shiplap walls, and custom millwork create a cohesive, calming interior. The vaulted Vipp kitchen with Miele appliances and gas burners anchors the home, framed by a large window overlooking the park-like backyard and a functional masonry fireplace. The living room centers around a sculptural wood-burning stove and built-ins with custom marble work surfaces. A striking powder room with a bespoke marble sink and Italian fixtures adds a memorable design moment, while a discreet pantry and laundry area connect the main living spaces. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a primary with Hudson River views. A tiled walk-in shower sits at the top of the stairs, continuing the home's clean, refined aesthetic. Outdoors, a newly installed Brazilian Ipe front porch (2025) is already weathering into a beautiful silver patina. Professionally designed landscaping includes three Linden trees, hydrangeas, Karl Foerster grasses, bluestone walkways and patio, arborvitae privacy plantings, and a natural bluestone outcropping framing the rear yard. This special pocket of Rhinecliff is known for its quiet streets, river glimpses, and relaxed hamlet feel. Consistently just 2 hours from downtown Manhattan by car, or an effortless 1 hour 45 minute Amtrak ride to Rhinecliff Station followed by a 5-minute walk home - 18 James Street provides a rare, true car-optional Hudson Valley living.
