This exceptional private estate was built in the greek revival style on 4.6 acres in the middle of Kingston. Raised on a plateau in the center of town, this 4,240 square foot, 3 bedroom, 6 bath home is walkable into Kingston's famous Stockade District! You enter the property on the driveway which takes you up and reveals a stunning view of this home in all of its glory. Passing into the gracious entry hall with one of three restored crystal chandeliers, you will see the grand staircase before you. To your right is the first sitting room with high ceilings, a built-in lead glass cabinet and the first of the full bathrooms. To your left is the second sitting room sharing the same striking view out the front of the property. This room opens to the dining room with another restored chandelier and the home's fireplace. At the rear of the house, to the left of the dining room is a large den with enormous windows facing south and west with views of the garden and pool. This room can be a den, an office or anything your heart desires. At the front of the house, also on the left side is a room ideal for a guest bedroom boasting a private full bath and a private side entrance. The main hall has a full bath and a huge and bright custom kitchen with high-end stainless appliances, quartz counters and a large apron front farm sink. This space is a chef's delight! The central hall next to the kitchen is large enough for a breakfast room with enormous windows and French doors leading out to the pool. At the top of the stairs are three panoramic plate glass windows looking out west over the pool and the back garden, ideal for a book, a glass of wine at sunset, or quiet nap. Nearby is a full bath in the hall. Towards the front of the house and through double doors, there is a very spacious primary suite with beautiful views and a very large private bath with a soaking tub, double vanity, walk-in shower and a walk-in closet. To complete this floor, there are two bedrooms that share a large jack and Jill bath. Near the top of the stairs, you will find the stairs to the finished attic which is not included in the square footage. The insanely high ceiling makes this a great space for anything you can imagine. There are also two side rooms ideal for storage. The back yard has a bluestone patio fit for a wedding and a brand new in-ground heated salt water pool for relaxing all summer long. This home has been effectively built this year. The home boasts new beams and steel columns in the basement, new on-demand hot water baseboard heating, new air conditioning, new water heater, new floors throughout, new windows, new doors (including the garage and garage doors openers), new rain gutters and all 6 baths are new as well as the custom designed kitchen. The home has been replumbed and rewired with new lighting inside and out. There is new landscaping surrounding the house and the front lawn has two large stone circles, formerly a fountain, which can be restored or used as a great fire pit! This home is walkable to everything uptown Kingston and the Stockade District has to offer. It is close to the thruway and walkable to the Trailways bus stop. Despite its grand facade and grounds, this is a comfortable home and the rooms have a gentle human scale. Ideal for big parties or quiet evenings watching a movie. Come and see your new home!
