Here's your chance to own one of Kingston's most recognizable and admired homes! This stately 1920's Brick Georgian captures timeless elegance with architectural details that will delight at every turn. From the moment you approach the gracious front portico, the home exudes a sense of grandeur and warmth. Step inside the sun-filled foyer where French doors, multi-paned windows, and an elegant staircase welcome you in classic style.
The spacious living room features a handsome wood-burning fireplace and opens to a formal dining room adorned with hand-troweled plaster walls. A charming butler's door leads to the pantry with built-in shelving and display cabinetry—perfect for elegant entertaining! The beautifully designed kitchen complete with a hand-painted backsplash, granite countertops, deep window ledge, and a cozy breakfast nook. A convenient mudroom is just off the kitchen, with direct access to the backyard.
Upstairs, the primary ensuite offers a true sanctuary—featuring a wood-burning fireplace, cedar-lined closets, and the same stunning multi-paned windows found throughout the home. Two additional bedrooms, each with distinctive character, share a full bath . Second floor has lovely walkable balconies with French Doors open to invite the fresh Hudson Valley air inside.
Outdoors, the magic continues. The private grounds are surrounded by mature landscaping, bluestone walkways framed with pea gravel, and a tranquil backyard oasis. Enjoy dining under the cedar arbor draped in wisteria, set against a charming brick backdrop. A detached two-car brick garage and herringbone brick drive complete the picture, all tastefully fenced for privacy.
This is a truly special property—gracious, refined, and steeped in Kingston's history.
