192 Downs Street, Kingston, NY, 12401

This 1920 Victorian house affectionately named 'Mabel' has been thoughtfully remade as a forever home. To say it's a solid investment is an understatement. From gas-fired on-demand hot water heated radiators, hickory hardwood floors, quartz countertops, a Restoration Hardware clawfoot tub, and a gas Kucht Professional stove-- this is a dream home, and no detail has been overlooked. Even the trees are in excellent health and are regularly treated by an expert local arborist. The wrap-around porch is in impeccable condition and is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the neighborhood. Enter into a living room comfortable enough to lounge in, but made for entertaining. Crown moldings throughout the house add to the appeal. The rich library/dining room has built-in bookshelves and a bench for sitting, custom-made for bibliophiles. The sunny kitchen is made for a chef, with a world-class stove, a deep kitchen sink, and plenty of storage. Officially a 3-bedroom with a den; the den could easily be used as a 4th bedroom, and the third-floor attic could be converted into another bedroom. The house is extremely efficient and uses a gas-heated on-demand hot water heater for the radiators. Utility bills are VERY low. The exterior has new siding and beautiful Victorian wood shingles. The large fenced-in private backyard is an unusual find in Kingston. The garden beds in the backyard have been professionally and organically graded and are ready for planting. There is a 12x14ft cement pad in the backyard where a garage, guest room, or gym could easily be installed. Garbage pick-up is included in the city of Kingston, shopping is accessible in all directions with the Stockade and Rondout close by. The Kingston Midtown Linear Trail and ice cream at Boices Dairy are around the corner. Go to Broadway and check out the art scene on Greenkill and enjoy world-class dining, hiking, and recreation in minutes. This house was meant as a forever home, but extenuating circumstances have forced the owners to relocate; their well-thought-out, no-expense-spared transformation of this grand Victorian, can be your gain.
