About This Home
As of May 2026Welcome to Fort Hill House, a picture-perfect circa 1923 Craftsman-style house on a quiet corner in Peekskill's Nelson Avenue–Fort Hill Historic District. Situated just one hour north of New York City, this charming home offers two full floors of original character, thoughtful updates, and a backyard that rewards every season. The covered front porch opens to a gracious entry and a living room anchored by a working fireplace with its original mantel. Coffered ceilings and wide hardwood floors carry through both levels, and cohesive wood trim and original millwork give the home a quiet architectural integrity. The sun-filled formal dining room connects to a renovated kitchen with pantry and half bath. The upper level has three bedrooms, one with a generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated full bathroom with soaking tub and handsome tilework. A new washer and dryer complete the upper floor, and new windows were installed in 2024. Outside, the dual-level backyard is among the most considered in the neighborhood. A broad bluestone patio anchors the lower level, with ivy-covered steps rising to a fire pit terrace and grassy upper area, partially shaded and opening to panoramic hilltop views. A detached two-car garage and off-street parking sit at the back of the property. The gardens have been planted with care: black-eyed susan, coneflower, milkweed, stonecrop, allium, and four hydrangeas, including a hydrangea tree, fill the back garden alongside strawberry, rosemary, and thyme. A row of peonies line the fence, lilac bushes frame the front and side of the house, and a pink dogwood explodes with color each spring. Peekskill's Fort Hill neighborhood sits one block from historic Fort Hill Park, and steps from the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, Riverfront Green, and a walkable downtown with cafés and restaurants that have made the city one of the Hudson Valley's most vibrant and peaceful communities. With the Peekskill Metro-North station five minutes away and Grand Central Terminal just over an hour by train, Fort Hill House delivers historic character and exceptional outdoor living with an easy connection to the city.
