277 W Chestnut Street, Kingston, NY 12401

Original detail and lots of character, all meticulously preserved: This charming home at the end of Kingston's historic West Chestnut Street is walkable to all the action on the Rondout waterfront, but still evokes an earlier era. Fronted by a sunny enclosed porch, the house features an oversized front foyer rich with original unpainted woodwork, flanked by open back-to-back living and dining rooms, leading through French doors to a wonderful custom patio and lush backyard beyond. The dining room still retains a wall of original built-in cabinetry facing a bright and semi-open kitchen. The main floor also features its own half bathroom. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, 2 with partial views of the Rondout Creek, and an updated full bathroom, with additional finished space on the third floor which has its own ductless air-conditioning and heat. Other original details include hardwood floors throughout, an oval foyer window and clawfoot tub. Recent improvements include updated water and sewer lines, attic insulation and a natural-gas boiler. The property includes its own driveway and boasts a large, lush backyard with a garage that would make a charming studio or meditation space. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained house with vintage character, just 2 hours by car or bus from NYC and minutes by foot from the restaurants, galleries and boat launches that have made the Kingston Rondout one of the hottest neighborhoods in the Hudson Valley.
