Charming 1930s Kingston Gem in the Heart of the Rondout District
Discover the potential of this character-filled 1930s Kingston gem, perfectly situated on picturesque New Salem Road in the highly sought-after Rondout waterfront area. Just a short stroll from the lively scene along the Strand, you'll enjoy award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, coffee houses, seasonal festivals, and the vibrant waterfront community that makes the Rondout one of Kingston's most desirable destinations.
Filled with original details—wide-plank hardwood floors, wood siding, a beautiful turned-wood banister, and period trim throughout—the home delivers warmth and authenticity from the moment you step into the inviting front foyer. The layout includes a formal dining room, a dedicated office or extra room, and a large, sun-filled kitchen with plenty of potential to become the heart of the home.
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms sit beside a spacious bath featuring a classic claw-foot tub. Both the unfinished attic and full unfinished basement offer excellent storage or future expansion possibilities. Outside, the metal roof and historic façade highlight the home's enduring craftsmanship.
This beauty may need a bit of finessing and love, but the character is irreplaceable, and the location is unbeatable. Whether you're an investor, renovator, or buyer searching for a home you can personalize, this property is a rare opportunity in one of Kingston's most cherished historic neighborhoods.
