Picture summer evenings under the pagoda and long afternoons by the raised pool, all just minutes from Uptown Kingston. Built to last in 1930, this two-story single-family home in the City of Kingston, Ulster County, with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1,407 square feet of living space on a 7,480 square foot lot. A sunny sitting area at the front door opens to the living room, the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening. The home flows into the kitchen and eat-in dining area, made for weeknight dinners and slow weekend breakfasts. On the main level, a flex room works as a home office, guest room, den, hobby space or home gym. There are full bathrooms on each level, and 3 bedrooms with a bonus cedar walk-in closet upstairs. The backyard is where weekends just happen, with shaded outdoor dining under the pagoda and a pool ready for the sun. Practical upgrades include a new furnace, a full basement for generous storage, a one-car garage with a metal roof, and a driveway with plenty of off-street parking, a real plus in the city. Kingston, New York's first capital, offers the historic Uptown Stockade District, the Rondout waterfront, farmers markets, restaurants, galleries and a growing arts scene. The Catskills, hiking trails and the Hudson River are close by, and the NYS Thruway makes trips from NYC an easy 2 hour trip.
