237 Warren Street is commercial and residentially zoned; downstairs, there's an open-plan office with a kitchen outfitted with commercial-grade appliances, including under-counter refrigerators and a high-end dishwasher. Upstairs, the residence includes a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with 10-foot ceilings, restored architectural details, and a gas fireplace. One of the bedrooms opens onto a private deck, while the other is accessed through French doors and receives natural light from two sources.

This property includes a private patio garden and a rear deck that overlooks a park! You also get off-street parking and a dry basement with additional storage. It wouldn't be too hard to rent the lower space (or start your own gallery or food spot) and keep the upstairs apartment as a pied-à-tierre. The building has been updated and has been maintained by a professional management team for many years. 

Renting the Lower Level

Renting out the downstairs office space is a real option here and a few practical steps come before the first tenant moves in. You'll want to run a credit and background check, draw up a lease that matches the commercial-residential zoning and set up a way to collect rent each month without chasing checks. Software for property management handles tenant screening and lease generation in one place, which keeps the paperwork off your kitchen table. For a single-unit rental like this, that means you can advertise the space, review applicants and sign the lease before you've even swapped out the locks. It's worth sorting out early, since the lower space is the part of this building that could start paying for itself.

Warren Street is Hudson's shining center strip of delicious food, cool antiques, interesting art, and great people-watching. This property is close to the Amtrak station near the Hudson River, and the 200 block of Warren is usually quieter than it is uptown, so this has potential to be an optimal weekend retreat. 

237 Warren Street is offered for $1,100,000 by Pamela Belfor of Four Seasons Sotheby's.
