43 Stephan St, Kingston, NY 12401

"Lovely, lovely, lovely"... is all one can say! Pride of ownership is evident throughout this formidable brick home (circa 1865) featuring original details from a simpler time when it was built to suit a prominent Kingston attorney. Room for everyone -- with added living space in the basement and a fully fenced back yard and a garage -- making this the perfect place to land. A bluestone path leads to the stately front steps and ornately trimmed covered porch. Then, step inside a large foyer that ushers you into a parlor where huge windows and high ceilings meet oceans of light. Just down the hall is a half-bath and a small office/DR/ or play room; and a huge eat-in kitchen that is also surrounded by large victorian style windows. The kitchen has a door out to a 3-season, windowed porch overlooking a gracious yard. The privacy and connection between the inside and outside spaces creates great opportunities to entertain and relax. Glide up a beautiful oak balustrade as you slip upstairs to an ample landing, three bedrooms, and a newly updated (2014) full bath. The large master bedroom is streaming with light, and there's even a window in the walk-in closet. A walk-up attic provides great storage options. The downstairs is a pleasant surprise! A large fully finished family room with a kitchenette/wet bar, a full bath, laundry under the stairs, and a small den -- or another office space. This home would easily support a work-from-home scenario or a nanny/granny space; as the basement was recently renovated and includes a state-of-the art interior French drain that keeps things totally dry. Newer mechanicals and a new roof (2015) provide a move-in situation. This well-kept neighborhood is centrally located near the newly remodeled Lace Mill Artists lofts and just seconds to the Rondout, Uptown/Stockade neighborhood, the Kingston Mall, or a quick hop over to Rhinebeck. Easy to show...and a pleasure!
