A twist of fate has brought a rare opportunity to market- a c1908 mansion on the historic West Chestnut street in Kingston. Chestnut street was developed in the 1840s by James McEntee, who built the first home, in the style now sometime called ''Hudson River Bracketed'', and is famous for its historic preserved mansions. For those old house lovers or investment opportunity seekers, this is an amazing piece of real estate with an abundance of original details and character, just waiting for someone to love and restore it to its original splendor. Dramatic ceiling height and distinctive finishes are found throughout the home, showcasing the craftsmanship and antique details that are hard to find in modern design. The main level provides a spacious entryway flanked by original stained glass and custom iron curved doors. Original millwork, molding, built in shelves, and tin ceilings can be found all throughout the formal dining room, living room, half bathroom, and library. The kitchen has so much potential and opportunity to really do something special, and even has a butler's pantry, and a lovely breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. You will be delighted to find the original dumbwaiter that goes up to the second level where you will find three bedrooms, in addition to the primary suite, a full bathroom, and a half bath. The third level boasts four additional bedrooms and a full bath complete with a clawfoot tub. One of the property's standout features is the breathtaking views of the Rondout Creek, providing a serene backdrop of natural beauty. The outdoor space offers a peaceful retreat, complete with an in-ground pool and ample space for landscaping and outdoor entertaining. There is even a sunny spot for a vegetable garden alongside a mature fig tree. The current owners have made significant improvements, including updating electric with 400 amp service, architect-stamped and engineered plans (available for buyers use), and removed all asbestos found in the heating system. This prime Kingston location is centrally located between the Waterfront/Rondout district and Midtown, which is home to an abundance of local shops, art galleries, and restaurants. The Ashokan Rail Trail is only 15 minutes away and you're only 20-25 minutes to other destination towns like Rhinebeck, New Paltz, Woodstock, and Stone Ridge/Accord. Commutes into the city are only 90 minutes to the GWB and only 20 mins to the Rhinecliff train station!
