54 Linderman Ave Kingston, NY 12401

Deep architectural character and charm in the heart of Uptown Kingston: This roomy classic Four Square offers more than 2,800 square feet of graciously sized rooms, plus a large 2-story garage building, all on an oversized lot with a backyard garden sanctuary. Approached through tall hedges fronting a deep end-to-end sitting porch, the house serves up major visual charm immediately upon entry, with a living room and parlor walled in never-painted oak paneling and millwork, spindle-capped door openings and ornate oversized windows with original leaded glass. The dining room, separated from the living room by working pocket doors, builds on the charm with a coffered ceiling, a wide sidewall of bay windows, and, discreetly tucked away, a full bathroom. Though updated with newer cabinetry, the kitchen holds to the vintage style, especially with its adjoining butler's pantry featuring wonderful and original cabinetry, perfect for use as a supplemental kitchen, service area or bar. Upstairs are 4 large bedrooms and a second full bathroom, all centered on a sunny center hall with a subtly hidden staircase to the enormous windowed attic above. If more storage is required, there's also a full multi-roomed basement plus a large 2-car garage with loft space upstairs and convenient roll-up door access to both the driveway and the backyard. The terraced garden is a true oasis, with stacked-bluestone walls, a patio, separated flower beds, and a tall perimeter screen of hedges for a sense of privacy and retreat rare to find in a house that's so close to all the action in Uptown's historic Stockade District, one of the Hudson Valley's hottest destinations.
