About Us

Upstate Down is a design forward home brand rooted in the heart of the Hudson Valley. We’re a boutique real estate brokerage, an interior design studio, and a home goods shop all centered on reimagining how people find, create, and live in their homes.

Our mission is simple: to help people feel more deeply connected to where they live.

As a brokerage, we specialize in properties that speak, whether it’s a historic farmhouse, a modern cabin tucked into the woods, or raw land waiting to become something new. We guide clients through the process with equal parts expertise and intuition, matching people not just to homes, but to landscapes, architecture, and lifestyle.

Our design studio brings those spaces to life with a philosophy grounded in warmth, craftsmanship, and a reverence for natural materials. We believe good design doesn’t shout, it invites. Our work blends old and new, honoring each home’s character while tailoring it to the people who live there. We love thoughtful renovations, timeless palettes, plaster walls, reclaimed wood, and pieces that age with grace.

The shoppe is our way of sharing those materials and stories with a wider audience. Located in Rhinebeck, our storefront offers a curated mix of home goods, vintage finds, handmade objects, and everyday essentials, each selected for beauty, utility, and soul. Whether you’re furnishing a full home or simply picking up a candle and a linen napkin, we want it to feel like a visit to a friend’s house.

Upstate Down was born here in the Hudson Valley, but it resonates with people from all over. We serve full-time locals, weekenders, and dreamers at a distance; people who feel the pull of this region and want to root themselves in a slower, more connected way of life.

We’re here to help you find your way home.
