Welcome to Lloyd Manor, a distinguished 1899 residence in the heart of the Academy Street Historic District, designed for banker George Sherman by noted architect-in-residence Percival M. Lloyd. Combining elements of Greek Revival, Queen Anne, and Victorian design, this landmark home reflects the artistic ambition of Poughkeepsie's Gilded Age, and has been lovingly preserved and updated for modern living. Inside, the gracious interior and layout reflects the architectural elegance of a bygone era. Ornamental egg-and-dart moldings, a bifurcated staircase with a vaulted plaster mezzanine, stained glass windows, and ornamental fireplaces speak to the home's craftsmanship and history. The main level includes a parlor, study, and dining room with original tiger oak and parquet floors, and a cheerful kitchen with an industrial Garland stove. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a full bath offer comfort, while a partially finished third floor provides flexible space for a studio, home office, or guest suite. Recent updates have respected the home's heritage while ensuring everyday ease: a new furnace, updated plumbing, refinished porch floors, restored slate roof, and a renovated marble bathroom with a custom viewing window that preserves rare 19th-century wallpaper. Outside, an in-ground pool, deck, and private gardens extend the living space, creating a retreat for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The one-car garage and freshly painted cedar-shake exterior complete the picture of thoughtful stewardship and care. Set along one of Poughkeepsie's most storied avenues, Lloyd Manor offers a vibrant Hudson Valley lifestyle with historic charm. Residents enjoy strolls through Calvert Vaux's Springside Park, scenic bike rides across the Walkway Over the Hudson, and tennis at the Poughkeepsie Tennis Club. Minutes from Amtrak and the Hudson River, this stunning residence offers heritage, leisure, and timeless Hudson Valley appeal, all just 90 minutes from Manhattan.
