About 33 Cliff Street
33 Cliff St. is the quintessential Beacon home with timeless character. Welcome to one of Beacon’s most recognized homes — a timeless 1850 residence that captures the essence of this historic once-industrial city. Perfectly positioned just two blocks from vibrant Main Street and less than a mile from Metro-North, this beloved brick home offers the ideal blend of walkable small-city energy, historic charm, and everyday convenience. Set high on the property with a stately presence, this extraordinary home has many stories to tell. Featured in Nobody’s Fool with Paul Newman, direct ties to some of Beacon’s most influential namesakes including DeWindt, Herbert and Verplank, and once visited by Anne Roosevelt, mother of FDR, it is a true Beacon landmark with a legacy as rich as its character. Inside, original details shine throughout: wide-plank floors, French doors, high ceilings, graceful curved banisters, stained glass accents, and oversized windows that fill each room with beautiful natural light. Every space feels warm and inviting. Thoughtfully arranged across four levels, the home offers remarkable flexibility. The main floor includes a spacious living room, formal dining room, galley kitchen, and powder room. Upstairs, the second level features three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor is a private primary suite with full bath, complete with beamed ceilings and generous closet space. The fully finished lower level, with its own private entrance and full bath, offers endless possibilities — ideal for a mother/daughter arrangement, in-law suite, studio, recreation room, or work-from-home opportunities. Outside, mature landscaping creates a peaceful setting, while the large driveway provides ample parking and the utility shed adds convenience. Recent upgrades include a new roof, both chimneys, windows, boiler, and porch entrance, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of an historic home with important improvements already in place. From here, everything that makes Beacon so special is just moments away — a 3-minute walk to Main Street, less than 1 mile to Long Dock Park and the Hudson River, under 2 miles to Mt. Beacon Park, and minutes to I-84 and the Beacon-Newburgh Bridge. Spend your summer surrounded by the energy of Beacon’s thriving shops, restaurants, galleries, hiking trails, culture, and community — all from the comfort of a home that feels both iconic and deeply welcoming.
