Maybe you’re crushing on the idea of an adorable vacation getaway but you’re on a budget and don’t want a fixer. We’ve rounded up five sprawling Victorians bursting with details and charm that appear to be in move-in condition, most with updated kitchens and baths.

All are in historic Hudson Valley towns, including Newburgh, Kinderhook, Coxsackie, Ghent and Kingston. Two of the properties have views of the Hudson.

They start at $171,000 and top out at $399,000. All should appeal to the prospective homeowner who wants to vacation, not swing a hammer.

This stunning Queen Anne Victorian was originally built for a railroad magnate and sits in Newburgh’s beautiful historic district. With six bedrooms and six bathrooms spread across four stories set on a bluff overlooking the Hudson, this 19th-century jewel is breathtaking, from its wood floors to its crown moldings. Its screened-in sleeping porch is ideal for taking in the cool Hudson breeze.
