A Different Kind of Real Estate Brokerage

We’re three businesses in one: a brokerage, a retail store, and a design studio. Whether you’re buying or selling, that means more expertise, more exposure, and more ways to make your next move the right one.

Briefly and concisely explain what you do for your audience.

EXPRIENTIAL MARKETING

Your listing lives in our retail store, where thousands of Hudson Valley visitors walk through monthly. Buying? That same storefront is where you’ll discover properties you won’t find online.

A Design Studio in Your Corner

Selling? We’ll advise on what to renovate before you list. Buying? We’ll help you see what a property could become. Expert guidance most brokerages can’t offer.

Three Networks, One Goal

Our brokerage reaches active buyers and sellers. Our store attracts lifestyle-driven visitors before they start searching. Our design studio connects us with homeowners investing in their properties.

UD Selects

UD Selects highlights homes for sale through Upstate Down that are defined by architectural character or exceptional craftsmanship and luxury.

Waterfall House

COMING SOON
The Waterfall House is one of the most significant architectural offerings ever to come to market in the Hudson Valley. Designed by Steve Mensch and completed in 1985, the estate sits on 25 private acres directly above a 60-foot waterfall on the Landsman Kill, with four copper-roofed structures, including the main house, two guest houses, and a three-story studio, connected by covered walkways and stone paths. Just minutes from Rhinebeck Village and the Amtrak station, it is offered at the highest price point in our history.

The Woodland Modern

The Woodland Modern is a striking artist’s home tucked down a private road in Milan, New York, built in 1993 by its first owner, a noted local artist, in collaboration with a renowned architect and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and his mid-century contemporaries. Set on six wooded acres, the home features floor-to-ceiling windows, a sunken living room, and an open floor plan, with a primary suite and living room fully reimagined in a 2023 renovation. A standalone 1,000-square-foot studio completes the property, just minutes from Red Hook and Rhinebeck.

Bloomvale Mill

The Bloomvale Mill Compound is a rare, National Historic Register estate along the Wappinger Creek in Salt Point, New York, minutes from Millbrook and Rhinebeck. Dating to the mid-1750s, the stone mill was transformed into a residential estate in the late 1960s, with natural waterfalls running alongside and partially through the building. The 13-acre property offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a studio, a caretaker’s cottage, and a swimming hole, with strong potential for a bespoke, value-add reinterpretation.

Trish Dantzic has been absolutely fantastic for our family’s search for a new home. We purchased our home with her help and now are using her services again for our next. In both instances her straight forward and caring approach is exactly the kind of guidance that we have needed as first time and now second time home buyers. Her knowledge of the Hudson Valley is extensive. Her follow up and responsiveness is excellent. Simply put we feel extremely comfortable speaking with and working with her. She cares for her clients and their needs and that shows through every interaction we’ve had with her. Would recommend!

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Hazel Kiesewetter at Upstate Down. She was exceptional from beginning to end, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better person to sell our home. What particularly stood out was the level of attention and care Hazel brought to understanding the property. We had put an enormous amount of thought and work into our home, and she not only appreciated the details, but really understood them. That meant she was able to communicate what made the property special to prospective buyers with a level of knowledge and specificity that was incredibly impressive. She was equally brilliant at communicating with us. She really took the time to understand how we liked to work and adapted to our communication style, keeping us completely informed without ever overwhelming us with unnecessary information. Throughout the entire process, we felt comfortable, confident and completely supported. And ultimately, she delivered. We got exactly the outcome we had hoped for, which is testament not only to how thoughtful and meticulous she is, but to how effective she is as an agent. Hazel is genuinely a 10/10. I would work with her on absolutely anything if I could, and we are so happy we chose her and Upstate Down to represent our home.

Two properties now closed with Anthony Winters from Upstate Down. Both were our first pick and he helped us get in position to win them and close them. If there’s ever a third property it will no doubt be with Anthony! Guess that says it all :)

We had a great experience working with Kate Laing. She helped us secure our house despite a tricky seller situation and handled all communication with professionalism. As first-time home buyers, we appreciated her patience and willingness to answer questions throughout the process. Kate is friendly, personable, honest, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend her to anyone in the Hudson Valley looking for a new home!

Working with Trish was an absolute delight from beginning to end. She was professional, but also very caring as she navigated us through the process. She was also incredibly successful in selling our home very quickly and negotiated a fabulous price. I can completely recommend Trish. What a gem!

Patricia (Trish) Dantzic is an exceptional real estate professional! We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had her as our agent. She helped us with both finding the perfect home, and selling our old house. She was so helpful through both processes! Her expert guidance was incredibly valuable in so many ways. She knows how to look at a house and call attention to both the pros and cons. She's very responsive to phone calls, texts and emails. She was especially adept at negotiation and communication with other agents and attorneys. Her years of experience are apparent, and is a delightful person to work with!

After the untimely death of our son, we contemplated selling our home, so we reached out to Trish Dantzic. We were emotional, we often didn’t respond in a timely manner, and we were pretty demanding. Trish listened, she was honest with us, and she gave us good advice. In the end, her patience and experience helped us be super efficient in how we got the house ready, and it sold well above our asking price quite quickly. We’re forever grateful for her expertise and her empathy.
