Modern meets old charm in this completely renovated Victorian home in Kingston. At 105 miles from NYC, its proximity to the city, but also the mountains, make it ideal for both weekenders or full-timers. The house dates back to 1890 and is located on West Chestnut Street, one of the most desirable blocks in the Roundout Valley. Though it was built 100+ years ago, in 2018 the house was completely renovated from top to bottom—from aesthetic details like refinished hardwood floors—to its mechanicals, including a new furnace, electric box and plumbing.

In 2018, the current owners painstakingly restored the house to uncover and showcase the original detail. Seven layers of linoleum were removed to reveal the beautiful original hardwood floors, which were then completely refinished. Throughout the house, all of the moldings are original, as well as the doors and knobs.

The first floor includes a living room, dining room, bedroom and a 1/2 bath. The living room, which gets plentiful natural light, has a gas stove that has lots of charm and heats up the entire house. The completely new kitchen includes all new stainless appliances including dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, range/oven, and washer/dryer. Aesthetic considerations in the kitchen include John Boos butcher block and Porcelenosa tile. In this space, a wall was taken out, opting for a more open plan connecting to the dining room, better suited for entertaining and family living.

Up the freshly painted original staircase, there are two additional bedrooms. The two spacious bedrooms share an full bathroom with a double sink. As with most homes of this age, the house originally had bedrooms that connected, a design detail that the owners wanted to retain.

The outside of this charming home also got a facelift, with all new paint. A new fence will last for decades to come. Its backyard is a blank canvas, but is equipped with electric which would suit a small pool. A deck could also be built for BBQ’s and social gatherings. In front, there’s a beautiful perennial garden with blue hydrangeas that will take your breath away. A one car garage makes parking easy. And should you ever feel like leaving the beautiful house, it’s walkable to the Kingston waterfront with great shops, restaurants and boutique shopping.
