Step into the timeless charm of this classic 1896 Old Style home, where historic character meets everyday comfort. Offering four spacious bedrooms, one full bath, and one-half bath, this inviting residence showcases original architectural details, generous living spaces, and exciting potential for its next chapter. A welcoming open front porch sets the tone, perfect for relaxing mornings or enjoying conversations with neighbors. Inside, the gracious formal living room features a wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm focal point for gatherings. (The fireplace has not been used in recent years and is being conveyed as-is.) The elegant formal dining room is ideal for entertaining, with hardwood floors beneath the carpet and classic French doors leading to the expansive enclosed rear porch. Additional French doors from the slate-floored hallway enhance the home's timeless character and natural flow. The spacious enclosed back porch overlooks a generous backyard, offering the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A detached two-car garage, along with additional paved off-street parking, provides ample convenience for homeowners and guests. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on one level, accompanied by a full bath. A full walk-up attic offers abundant storage and exciting possibilities for future expansion, while the full basement provides additional functional space. The home is serviced by forced-air natural gas heat, municipal water, and municipal sewer. A significant recent improvement adds peace of mind: a new roof, plywood sheathing, and gutters were installed in 2024, enhancing the home's long-term value and curb appeal. Located in the heart of historic Kingston, this home offers easy access to everything that makes the Hudson Valley so desirable. Explore the charming Uptown Stockade District, stroll the scenic Rondout Waterfront, browse local boutiques and art galleries, dine at acclaimed restaurants, enjoy farmers markets, festivals, and live music, or spend weekends kayaking on the Hudson River and exploring nearby hiking trails. With convenient access to the New York State Thruway, Rhinebeck, Woodstock, New Paltz, and the Catskills, Kingston combines rich history, a vibrant arts community, and exceptional accessibility. If you've been searching for a home with authentic character, generous living space, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable Kingston location, 288 Washington Avenue presents a rare opportunity to make this historic Hudson Valley gem your own.
