Charming Historic Home Near Waterfront Restaurants
The best of both worlds: our 1870s house fits right into its historic Rondout neighborhood, but with funky modern design, style, comfort and amenities. Relax in a beautiful zen-like outdoor oasis with koi pond, seasonal stream feature, and dining and lounging areas. Walk just a few blocks down to the waterfront where you’ll find cafes, restaurants, antique stores, boutiques, and museums; grab a freshly fried donut and coffee, and watch the boats go by from a bench in the park. On the first floor, the living room features exposed stone walls and wooden ceiling beams from the historic house, with comfortable contemporary furnishings. A step down takes you to the eat-in kitchen with a full coffee bar, espresso maker, and all of the tools you'll need to make a great meal. The full bathroom is also found on the main floor. Upstairs there is a spacious master bedroom with a small seating area and an adjacent workspace nook. Four steps down, there are the second and third bedrooms, with more exposed beams and unfinished natural pine floors from the original structure, and modern decor throughout. The small, cozy second bedroom features a floor-to-ceiling sliding door, and the larger third bedroom opens out directly into the garden. You will have access to all areas of the house and property. You'll check yourself in, but we are always available via Airbnb messaging, or texts and calls. The Rondout is in the National Registry of Historic Places. Originally settled by the Dutch in the 17th century, it has retained much of its original historic personality. Our small, residential street is just a few blocks walk from the restaurants, boutiques, and museums that give the waterfront area its charm. A two mile drive down Broadway you'll find the Stockade District, the first seat of New York government, also known for its rich historic character as well as its fine restaurants and shopping. Hiking trails, a rail trail for biking, and boating are available both inside and outside the city of Kingston. Our house has its own two-car driveway - hard to find in the Rondout, where on-street parking can be scarce. On weekends you can walk a few blocks and pick up the antique streetcar to Kingston Point Park to walk along the shore. The drive from Manhattan is about an hour and forty-five minutes. This house is officially permitted for short term rentals by the City Of Kingston, permit number 009852. Be aware, not all Airbnbs in Kingston are legal! There are stairs in many different areas of the house and property. Please consider this if you or anyone in your party have issues with mobility, and be careful on the steps! Also, note that the bathroom is on the main floor, while the bedrooms are on the second floor.
