She's one of the most beautiful of the Washington Ave Grand Dames and now she's available for first time in 21 years. This magnificent Queen Anne Victorian home will not disappoint, as it remains adorned with all its original woodwork, stained glass, exquisitely tiled faux fireplace mantels, plaster coved ceilings and rich wood paneling, completely intact and unpainted. This three-bedroom, two bath charmer features so many Victorian touches both inside and out, it's difficult to cover them all.
From its artfully tiled vestibule to the wood paneled foyer & staircase and the beautiful oak hardwood floors throughout, the home exudes warmth and elegance. Not to be upstaged, the homes recently painted multi-colored exterior beckons you in with its classic Queen Anne asymmetrical style and its beautiful gables and tower and large covered wrap around front porch and porticos.
Its classic Victorian beauty aside, what really makes this home truly standout, is the amazingly thoughtful first level addition that the current owners built off the back of the home. This addition, which has become the beating heart of this home, includes second full bath and a beautiful kitchen expansion, featuring period bead board style wood cabinetry, breakfast bar and a stylish multicolored slate tiled backsplash interspersed with homeowner's artisan tiles.
Beyond the kitchen, the addition further includes a spacious dining area and large family room, which is surrounded by multiple windows that flood the room with natural light. This room provides easy access to rear deck and a view of a gorgeous fenced in backyard, bejeweled with mature ornamental plantings and making it the perfect home for entertaining, both inside and out.
There is also a large, finished attic, which has been used as an office. The basement is also partially finished and has been used as a pottery studio. Both spaces are not included in the square footage.
Centrally located, you can get to almost anywhere in Kingston in under 10 minutes by car and it's walking distance to the red hot Uptown Stockade area and the burgeoning Midtown Arts District.
