The Porch House on the Rondout - A 1901 Kingston Classic with Modern Soul If you've been dreaming of a Hudson Valley escape that blends architectural soul with everyday ease, this is it. Tucked on a tree-lined street just blocks from Kingston's vibrant Rondout waterfront, this stunning 1901-built home offers the rare combination of preserved character and upscale modern updates—move-in ready, yet rich with story. Inside, you'll find gracefully restored hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and beautifully proportioned rooms—including a spacious first-floor bedroom perfect for guests, a home office, or flexible one-level living. The light-filled upstairs primary suite offers privacy and comfort with its own ensuite bath. The kitchen is a true standout: quartz countertops, a drawer microwave tucked into the island, and a commercial-grade gas range elevate both style and function. The open-concept layout flows beautifully into the living and dining areas—ideal for entertaining or cozy nights at home. A first-floor laundry room adds convenience and efficiency, while a new boiler provides peace of mind. Outside, the charm continues. The original clapboard siding, wide front porch, and level 0.29-acre lot give you the outdoor lifestyle buyers crave. A detached two-car garage provides storage, studio space, or workshop potential. All this just a few blocks from Kingston's historic Rondout District—offering waterfront dining, art galleries, local boutiques, coffee shops, the Kingston Greenline, and the creek itself. Whether you're full-timing in the Hudson Valley or seeking a refined weekend retreat, this is a rare opportunity to own a timeless Kingston home with all the modern luxuries already in place.
