Live. Work. Create.A Rare Live/Work Opportunity in the Hudson ValleySome buildings simply offer space. Others offer possibility.Hidden behind the façade of this former commercial building is something increasingly difficult to find in todays Hudson Valley--a place where generous studio space and comfortable living quarters exist under one roof. As creative space becomes more scarce and traditional lofts continue to shrink in both size and affordability, artists, designers, photographers, makers, and entrepreneurs are looking beyond the regions best-known towns to places where scale, flexibility, and value still come together.Encompassing approximately 4,350 square feet, the building is divided between a 2,100-square-foot residential wing and a 2,250-square-foot studio. Expansive storefront windows naturally light the studio, while 12-foot ceilings and a professionally installed lighting grid create an inspiring setting for painting, photography, design, or any practice that benefits from generous volume and light. Outside, the approximately 2,000-square-foot side yard extends the propertys possibilities, offering space for gardens, outdoor projects, entertaining, or future improvements.This property was thoughtfully reimagined as a live/work environment, with architectural plans that were previously approved by the Town of Ravena. While a future owner would need to resubmit plans for approval based on their intended use, the existing plans provide a valuable starting point for bringing that concept to life. Much of the infrastructure has already been completed, allowing the next owner to focus on shaping the space to suit their own needs.Ravena offers the practicality of a full-service village with the space and affordability that have become increasingly difficult to find elsewhere in the Hudson Valley. Everyday conveniences are all nearby, while the Hudson River waterfront park and public boat launch provide easy access to the river. Located just off Route 9W with immediate access to the New York State Thruway (I-87), the property is convenient to Albany, Hudson, Catskill, and Kingston, placing many of the Hudson Valleys most celebrated destinations comfortably within reach while offering the breathing room that those communities increasingly cannot.Whether youre relocating from New York City, expanding your practice, or simply looking for a place where life and work can exist seamlessly together, this property offers a rare chance to create something distinctly your own.
