42 Gansevoort Street

About this home

Welcome to 42 West Gansevoort Street, an elegant Queen Anne Victorian perched along one of Little Falls’ most architecturally notable streets. Built in 1890 and set on a picturesque double corner lot just above the historic Erie Canal, this stately residence offers more than 5,000 square feet of meticulously preserved craftsmanship, providing a rare combination of history, charm, scale, and endless potential. Featuring six spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, the home showcases classic shingle-style architecture, a sweeping wrap-around porch with neoclassical columns, and beautifully restored exterior details that speak to its timeless character. Inside, the grand foyer opens to multiple formal and informal sitting rooms, each filled with natural light and rich period detailing. Pocket doors, intricate millwork, ornate fireplaces, and original hardwood flooring create an atmosphere of elegance throughout. The formal dining room is gracious in scale and flows seamlessly into the sun-filled solarium, where antique glass doors and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting gathering space. One of the most distinctive features of the home is the fully preserved butler’s pantry separating the dining room and kitchen. With original glass-front cabinetry, soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and a beautiful copper sink, it remains an extraordinary example of Victorian craftsmanship. The kitchen blends historic charm with functional updates, offering a brand-new electric stove, an arched window above the sink, a cozy breakfast area, and a brick fireplace with a copper hood. A large rear deck extends the home’s living space outdoors. The expansive third floor offers a rare, light-filled artist’s loft with exposed beams, wide-plank floors, and its own full and half bath—an ideal setting for creative work, a home office, or a future living suite. Beyond the main home, a detached two-car garage with an attached carriage house provides additional living quarters, including a full bedroom, bathroom, and upper loft space perfect for guests, studio use, or a private retreat.
