Property Description

Historic Kingston Gem with Modern Comforts Perfectly situated between Uptown and Midtown, this three-bedroom, three-bath home blends turn-of-the-century charm with thoughtful updates. Sunlit rooms, hardwood floors, and original details carry the warmth of its history, while modern conveniences and a flexible layout make it as functional as it is inviting. This is a home that embraces both quiet moments and lively gatherings, offering space to live, create, and connect. Enter through the welcoming foyer, a graceful entryway that immediately sets the tone. Here, there's room to hang coats, tuck away boots, and ease into the comfort of home. The living room unfolds beyond, a generous space bathed in natural light from two exposures. A central wood stove anchors the room, giving it a sense of hearth and home that invites you to linger. With its size and flow, there's space for a main seating area, a cozy reading corner, and gatherings both large and small. The kitchen and dining areas strike a delightful balance of charm and functionality. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with butcher block counters, open shelving, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of storage for the home cook. Just across the way, the dining room feels cheerful and connected, easily seating eight with windows framing views of the garden. It's easy to imagine dinners that stretch into conversation-filled evenings, with the nearby door opening directly onto the patio for effortless indoor-outdoor living. A three-piece bathroom with shower sits conveniently nearby. It is outfitted with a stacked Washer/Dryer combo. There is also a pantry and basement access which provide practical storage and space for home essentials. Upstairs, the mood shifts to quiet retreat. A sunlit landing offers the perfect nook for a small desk or reading chair, creating a natural pause before the private quarters. The primary bedroom is airy and inviting, with space for a king bed, additional furniture, and an ensuite bath that makes it feel like a personal sanctuary. Two additional bedrooms—each with its own charm—offer flexibility for family, guests, or a creative workspace. A third full bath with a shower-tub combo ensures comfort for all. Outdoors, the home truly shines. The deep garden is more than just a backyard—it's a space to breathe, grow, and gather. Raised beds await a green thumb, while multiple seating areas, including a covered patio and a bluestone terrace, create endless opportunities for entertaining and relaxation. At the far end of the property sits a four-season studio equipped with heat and electricity and high speed internet. Whether used as an art studio, a home office, a fitness space, or a music room, this special retreat expands the possibilities of how you live here. A private driveway and dedicated parking space bring added convenience, a rare find in this vibrant location. With Keegan Ales, Camp Kingston, Rough Draft, Mirador, Lola's and a host of restaurants and shops just moments away, you're at the heart of Kingston's thriving community. The lively waterfront, with its dining, arts, and events, is just a short drive, while the Catskills' hiking trails and ski slopes are less than 30 minutes from your doorstep. And with New York City under two hours away, this home offers the perfect balance of accessibility and escape. More than just a house, this Kingston gem offers a lifestyle—a perfect blend of history, creativity, and modern comfort.
