Rezidans Jij Emory Chase — Yon Mèstr Wrestling nan Epòk Lò Hudson Valley

Ki mintenen sou blòk ki pi distenge nan Catskill, New York, ak bèl vi panoramic sou Rivyè Hudson, Pon Rip Van Winkle, ak Olana istorik Frederic Church, kanpe bèl kay viktoryen Jij Emory Chase ki soti nan ane 1880 yo — yon senbòl majesteu nan epòk lò Hudson Valley a.

Anwo tout istwa ak gras, rezidans sa a te yon fwa akeyi yon Prezidan Etazini, yon astronòt, ak manm sistèm jidisyè New York la. Anndan doub salon ki gen anpil istwa l, pitit fi Jij Chase te selebre resepsyon maryaj li — yon refleksyon sou long tradisyon kay la nan rasanbleman elegant ak otèl refined.

Apre anpil efò pou reyalize li, rezidans lan ofri nèf chanm ak twa ak yon mwatye twalèt, ki melanje konfor modèn ak metye ki inik nan 19yèm syèk la. Chak detay pale de yon epòk atistik ki ra jodi a — depi travay li fèt a la main ak eskalye ki gen twa etaj ki wo, rive jouk nan koroze plaster konplike, chemine an mab, planche laj, ak pòch pòt orijinal yo.

Bibliyotèk la, ak etajè liv ki te fèt nan kay la, rete yon sant pou refleksyon trankil. Pandan tan sa a, nouvo kwizin goute a — ki benyen nan limyè natirèl atravè yon miray komplete ak pòt an vè — ouvri san pwoblèm sou yon teras espasyal ak yon gwo lakou, pafè pou resepsyon an gwo oswa fè fèt entim pandan sezon ete a. Yon vèran chita sou porche devan ak balkon dezyèm etaj la ofri pwen vi ideyal pou admire bèl vi sou limyè, koulè ak solèy leve majesteu Rivyè a ak solèy kouche ki reflete sou rivyè a.

Dèyè kay prensipal la, yon kay machin ki gen de etaj ap tann pou re-imajine — petèt kòm yon kay envite, atelye atis, garaj - posiblite yo san limit! Yon chemen sèvis disrè soti nan Bridge Street mennen dirèkteman nan lakou a, ofri tou de konvenyans ak prive.

Pandansetan li ye kounye a kòm yon kay prive, echèl ak plan an nan pwopriyete a fèt san pwoblèm pou transfòme li nan yon otèl elegant oswa yon ti kabann ak dejene (sou apwobasyon lokal yo). Doub salon yo, sal manje formal la, teras vaste a, ak jaden yo bay espas komen ideyal pou òganize envite oswa rasanbleman espesyal — yon ekstansyon natirèl nan long istwa sosyal kay la.

Nidye ant Beattie-Powers House ak yon chemen ki byen swaye ki mennen bò rivyè a, rezidans lan jwi tou de prive ak pwoksimite. Sèlman yon ti mache mennen nan Main Street Catskill ki renove, ki kay restoran renome, brasserie, boutik, konplèks atizay kontanporen Foreland, ak yon sinema klasik.

Avèk estasyon Amtrak Hudson ki sèlman 10 minit lwen, Windham ak Hunter ki gen estasyon ski ki 25 minit, Bard College 25 minit, ak New York City sèlman 2 èdtan, estati istorik sa a kanpe nan entèseksyon vitalite kiltirèl ak bèlte etènèl — yon gwo opòtinite Hudson Valley pou sa ki ap chèche yon vrè mester Hudson Valley plen ak patrimwàn, élégance, metye etènèl ak konvenyans modèn.

The Judge Emory Chase Residence — A Gilded Age Hudson Valley Masterpiece

Presiding over the most distinguished block in Catskill, New York, with sweeping vistas of the Hudson River, the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, and Frederic Church’s storied Olana, stands the magnificent 1880s Victorian home of Judge Emory Chase — a stately symbol of the Hudson Valley’s golden era.

Steeped in history and grace, this grand residence once welcomed a U.S. President, an astronaut, and members of New York’s judiciary. Within its storied double parlor, Judge Chase’s daughter celebrated her wedding reception — a reflection of the home’s long tradition of elegant gatherings and refined hospitality.

Painstakingly restored, the residence offers nine bedrooms and three and a half baths, harmoniously blending modern comfort with irreplaceable 19th-century craftsmanship. Every detail speaks to an era of artistry rarely seen today — from hand-carved millwork and the soaring three-story staircase to intricate plaster crown moldings, marble fireplaces, wide-plank floors, and original pocket doors.

The library, with its original built-in bookcases, remains a sanctuary for quiet reflection. Meanwhile, the newly designed gourmet kitchen — bathed in natural light through an entire wall of glass doors — opens seamlessly to a spacious deck and generous backyard, perfect for grand-scale entertaining or intimate summer evenings. A gracious rocking-chair front porch and second-floor balcony offer ideal vantage points for taking in the stunning views of the river’s ever-changing light, color and majestic sunrises and reflected river sunsets.

Behind the main house, a two-story carriage house awaits re-imagination — perhaps as a guest residence, artist’s studio, garage- the possibilities are endless! A discreet service road entrance from Bridge Street leads directly to the yard, offering both convenience and privacy.

While currently configured as a private home, the property’s scale and layout lend themselves effortlessly to transformation into an elegant inn or boutique bed-and-breakfast (subject to local approvals). The double parlors, formal dining room, expansive deck, and gardens provide ideal common spaces for hosting guests or special gatherings — a natural extension of the home’s long social history.

Nestled between the Beattie-Powers House and a state-maintained trail to the river’s edge, the residence enjoys both privacy and proximity. Just a short stroll leads to Catskill’s revitalized Main Street, home to acclaimed restaurants, breweries, boutiques, the Foreland contemporary art complex, and a classic movie theater.

With Hudson’s Amtrak station only 10 minutes away, Windham and Hunter ski resorts 25 minutes, Bard College 25 minutes, and New York City only 2 hours, this historic estate stands at the intersection of cultural vitality and timeless beauty — a rare Hudson Valley offering for those who seek a true Hudson Valley masterpiece steeped in heritage, elegance, timeless craftsmanship coupled with modern conveniences. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
