385 First Avenue, Kingston, NY, 12401

Some homes check all the boxes. Others quietly surprise you. 385 First Avenue is one of those homes. Built in 2012 and thoughtfully refined with an eye for clean design and comfort, this home sits on a beautifully landscaped half-acre along a quiet road -- just minutes from the Rondout waterfront, local dining, and all the conveniences of Kingston.. Step inside to immediate light and warmth. Bamboo flooring flows throughout the open living spaces, while the kitchen serves as a natural gathering place with its live-edge walnut countertops, refaced cabinetry, designer tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. It's a space that simply feels good to be in. The primary suite was designed with relaxation in mind. A freestanding soaking tub, steam shower, double vanity, and Japanese style toilet with heated seat and warm-water bidet transform the ensuite into a spa-like escape. A second bedroom and full bath complete the main level. Downstairs, you'll find a third bedroom, bath, and flexible living area -- space that easily adapts to guests, hobbies, fitness, or working from home. This lower level also offers strong potential for a future accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to permitting. The home's thoughtful design extends beyond aesthetics. A fully owned whole-house solar array keeps electric charges to a minimum, while programmable smart lighting and a NEMA 14-50 outlet for Level 2 EV charging bring added convenience. Then there's the backyard: More than just outdoor space, it's a collection of destinations. Enjoy dinner on the patio, gather around the fire pit beneath café lights, or wander up the steps to an elevated plateau that invites everything from morning coffee to sunset conversations. It's the kind of backyard that encourages you to stay outside just a little longer. When you're ready to explore, Sojourner Truth State Park -- with its trails, Hudson River access, and new Lake Sophia swimming area -- is adjacent to the property, with an entrance just a short walk away. Whether it's dinner at Sorry, Charlie, an evening along the Rondout waterfront, or relaxing in your own backyard retreat, everything you need is close at hand. 385 First Avenue isn't simply a house that's been updated -- it's a home that's been carefully improved, loved and lived in.
