Big charm and a private outdoor sanctuary, right in Uptown Kingston: This classic Dutch Colonial is a quick walk to the center of the Stockade District, and still retains its original 1900 character, including carved woodwork, stained-glass windows and a wonderful gabled front porch. But inside, the vibe is also fresh and bright, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and gracious back-to-back living and dining rooms separated by a working fireplace. From there, an oversized deck overlooks a surprisingly large backyard with mature shade trees and hedges dividing 2 distinct garden areas. Meticulously maintained and updated, the house now includes four new high-efficiency Mitsubishi air-conditioning split units with heat pumps - 2 downstairs and 2 upstairs - installed in 2023, with a back-up natural-gas furnace still in place. Other recent upgrades include new kitchen appliances and a new hot-water heater, both installed in 2022, plus a new exterior paint job completed the same year. The attic, accessed via a permanent staircase, is spray-foam insulated for additional energy efficiency. In back, the long and lush yard lends a relaxed feeling of seclusion to the property, even though it's minutes by foot or bicycle to all the restaurants, shops and other attractions that have made Uptown Kingston, just two hours by car from NYC, one of the hottest neighborhoods in the Hudson Valley.'' © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
