This freshly-renovated antique two-family home is perched high on a hill in the City of Kingston's most scenic neighborhood on the Rondout Creek waterfront. This home, with spectacular views, including the Wurts Street Bridge (recently featured in the final episode of HBO's The Undoing) offers a lower duplex "owners unit" with 2 beds and 1 bath over two floors, and an upper 1 bed/1 bath unit that has been used as a successful short-term rental. Entrances to both units are located on the main level, with wraparound porch. The front entrance, with classic victorian double-doorway, has a small vestibule with room for a coat tree, and a long stairway with classic banister leads to the upper 1br unit. This unit has an open flow living area with tidy modern kitchen, and fully-tiled bathroom with double-head shower. The ceilings in this unit are vaulted to the roofline, with exposed beams and an open lofted area--perfect for storage, or additional sleeping space. The bedroom and kitchen both share the expansive views over the Rondout, and offer a stylish and quiet refuge from the bustling village below. The lower unit spans the bottom two floors, with a side entry off the wraparound porch that opens into the living room and enclosed bedroom with double sliding barn door closure. The entry area includes a large closet, for coats and boots, or extra storage. The bedroom on this level is big enough for a king-size bed, and also enjoys the bridge view. The living area will accommodate many seating arrangements, and has the perfect spot for a wall-mounted tv or media unit. Down the interior stair is the second bedroom, which includes en suite access to the bathroom. The bathroom is also accessible through the kitchen, for the occupant of the other bedroom, as well as guests. The bathroom is newly gut-renovated, and includes ceramic hex tile on the floors, exposed brick on the upper walls, new vanity and lighting, and a restored claw foot tub. The eat-in kitchen is also newly renovated with scandinavian-inspired cabinetry, a terrazzo-look countertop, and brick backsplash. The kitchen includes a large pantry, for hiding unsightly food items and kitchen appliances, and also includes a dishwasher and gas stove. A door from this level leads to the basement, for laundry and mechanicals--as well as a second exterior door, leading out to the oversized yard. The fully-fenced 6000+ sf lot offers room to run and play, and privacy as it is sunken down behind a large retaining wall. The grounds offer many perennials and mature plantings, with a rotating mix of seasonal blossoms and fruit, such as blueberries and wine berries. At the back of the structure, is a fenced garden plot where the sellers have enjoyed growing their own vegetables. And after a long day of gardening, the firepit and string lights offer additional ambiance for outdoor recreation well into the evening. There is also an exterior entrance to the basement, so that the upper unit can access the laundry appliances. The house also boasts a high-efficiency tankless Navien boiler for heat and hot water, wifi-connected Nest thermostats with three heating zones, and many recent upgrades to plumbing, electrical and insulation--bringing "This Old House" into the 21st century! It's rare to find such a well-maintained multifamily property in the City of Kingston--this one is turnkey and sure to be a money-maker! Walkable to dining and shopping, this location is appealing to full-time occupants, as well as short-term stays! Perfect for an owner-occupant, or investor--with similar 2br units in Kingston renting for $1700/mo, and 1br units renting for $1400/mo. Airbnb income history for the upper-unit also available upon request (lower-unit doesnt have recent rental history, since it was owner-occupied). Dont miss the virtual tour!
