What $2.7 Million Gets You in Kingston

Following up on yesterday’s post about a beautiful but slightly rundown turn of the century house in Kingston, NY, we thought we’d take a look at what’s on the market in the former state capital. The most eye-popping property on the market right now, as far as we can tell, is the Cordts Mansion, a 30-room, Second Empire house on 13 acres overlooking the Hudson River. You’ve gotta click thru and check out the photos in the listing. It’s insane! And the price? $2,700,000, slightly less than what the Carroll Gardens Atrocity is listed for. Drool.

Ah yes, stable hands!!!!
Beautiful home. What’s the job market like in Kingston?
I would also require horses, a stable and groomsman, and of course dogs to patrol the grounds. It’s magnificent.
Fit for a king, or queen.
*and by ‘hug’ I mean ‘huge’
holy crap i nearly climaxed at this beauty. now if i could get that jaguar driven in Harold and Maude to park in front, I’d be set.
I’ve no need of a house that large, but I do admit it makes it that much harder to justify paying 2mm for a tiny rowhouse in Brooklyn when it’ll buy you something this hug and pretty elsewhere.
I can’t imagine maintaining that property though. Seems like cleaning, groundskeeping, and general upkeep would be a full-time job for multiple people (which it likely was, when this was built).
I didn’t like that mish mash house yesterday, but this is a beaut.
Nice but you would need to dress in black all the time and hire a butler named “lurch”.
