What's special
*Accepting Back-up Offers** A rare opportunity to own one of Kingston's most historically significant residences, thoughtfully restored to blend timeless character with exceptional modern living. Dating to the mid 1800s and located within Kingston's Historic District, this remarkable home has undergone an extensive renovation that preserves its architectural integrity while offering the comfort, technology, and craftsmanship expected in today's finest homes. Rich in history, the restoration uncovered hundreds of artifacts spanning centuries, including Revolutionary War relics, colonial era coins, Civil War memorabilia, and other remarkable discoveries, all showcased in a custom museum quality display. Beneath the home, the original brick water cistern was carefully preserved as the centerpiece of the spectacular lower level, creating an architectural feature unlike any other. The home seamlessly combines historic charm with modern luxury, featuring an open concept design, chef's kitchen, luxurious primary suite, expansive entertaining spaces, smart home technology, whole house generator, detached garage, carport, and beautifully landscaped grounds with mature gardens and fruit bearing plantings. More than a home, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of New Jersey history, where every room tells a story and every detail reflects an extraordinary commitment to preservation, craftsmanship, and modern living.
