About This Home

Classic Cape beauty in sought-after Uptown Kingston, just steps from Forsythe Park. Set on a corner lot, this impeccably maintained home makes a memorable first impression with its charming covered entry before you even step inside. It is tidy as a pin and pretty as a picture, the kind of place that springs to mind when you think of home. Through the front door, charming details greet you at every turn. Gleaming wood floors run through the living and dining rooms, and a cozy fireplace anchors the living room, while loads of windows fill the space with an abundance of natural light. Every room shows real pride of ownership. Just off the living room, a sweet den offers the perfect spot for a quiet study, a reading nook, or a home office. A beautiful open staircase leads up to two bedrooms that make full use of the light and space offered by those much-loved Cape Cod dormered windows, along with an updated full bath. Back downstairs, the formal dining room flows into a clean, functional kitchen with its own dining area, which leads into a gorgeous sunroom with easy access to the backyard and driveway. It's a wonderful spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding. A full basement below offers ample storage and laundry, keeping everyday essentials neatly out of sight. Out back, enjoy a private driveway on a dead-end street, plus a storage shed for all the extras. Beyond the front door, you're just minutes from everything that makes Uptown Kingston such a draw: the historic Stockade District's boutique shops and antique finds, beloved local restaurants and cafes, farmers markets, and easy access to the hiking trails, wineries, and outdoor recreation the Hudson Valley is known for. Come see why this Kingston gem is exactly what you've been picturing.
