A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: Own a Historic Victorian Firehouse in the Heart of Beacon Presenting a truly exceptional offering: a one-of-a-kind, second empire, Victorian firehouse nestled in the vibrant heart of Beacon, just steps from the lively restaurants and activity of the east end of Main Street. Built in 1889, this stunning brick architectural landmark is rich in original detail and character, a testament to Beacon's storied past. Rising two and a half stories on the street side, the firehouse is distinguished by its striking mansard roof, original bell tower (adapted for a siren), and a second tower, once essential for drying hoses. The facade is a masterpiece of fine brickwork, adorned with a bracketed and dentillated cornice and the original, proudly displayed “Beacon” lettering. The street-level first story features a meeting room, offices, and a lavatory, alongside an apparatus bay added in 1924 on the east side. Ascend to the second story and discover a dramatic and grand gathering room illuminated by beautiful arched windows. The room's focal point is an original plaster medallion on the ceiling, uniquely designed with a firehouse motif. Southern yellow heart pine vertical grain wood floors are ready to be refinished under the tile floor. The east side of this level offers picturesque views of Mount Beacon and includes a spacious, mess hall-style kitchen, once the hub for community events. The third half-story reveals the building's robust interior construction with original, massive wood beams, previously utilized for storage. From here, access the roof and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic vistas: the majestic Mount Beacon to the east, and the charming rooftops and Fishkill Creek to the south. Below the first story lies an unexpected and inviting clubhouse area. This space boasts a handsome oak bar, a brick and stone mechanical room which could also make an amazing wine cellar, and a pool table game room. Step outside to a surprisingly large deck, enveloped by trees, offering a magical and private setting for gatherings and entertaining. Keep warm with heat provided by a gas fired "Hydrotherm" boiler. The building has a 40 gallon "American Standard" hot water heater, 200 amp electrical service, back up generator, and central AC in the basement. Zoned R1 single family, this remarkable property also benefits from its location within the Historical Overlay District and its prestigious listing on the National Historic Registry. This unique combination unlocks an exciting array of adaptive reuse possibilities. Permitted uses include single-family residency, or with a special use permit: a boutique hotel with accessory services, a distinguished social club, a restaurant accommodating up to 50 seats, professional offices for up to 10 employees, multi-unit dwellings (up to 4), an inspiring art studio, and more. (See attached document for a complete list of potential uses.) Additionally, the City of Beacon maintains a camera on the roof, which will remain in use. Please see attachments for more information.
