Uptown Kingston at its finest: This graciously designed brick house began life in 1865 but has been meticulously restored and renovated to incorporate a bright and cheerful new kitchen, insulated windows, a sleek master bathroom and updated systems, including central air. All the original interior detail is now crisply restored, including working pocket doors and Greek Revival moldings and door surrounds. An expansive finished third floor, complete with full bath, provides even more space for get-togethers or at-home work. Located minutes by foot from the restaurants and shops that are making Uptown one of the hottest neighborhoods in the Hudson Valley, the house is unusual for its roomy and private yard, its gracious side porch and a separate Cotswold-style garage building (with plumbing in place and high ceilings) that might make for a stunning, sunlight-filled studio or income-generating guest house. A gated driveway with room for several cars adds to the rare sense of having a private compound in a walkable Uptown setting, just 2 hours from midtown Manhattan.
