About this home
The perfect country retreat--private, spacious, and just 5 miles from Uptown Kingston. Set on more than 6 acres and bordering 130 acres of Wild State Forest, this contemporary home offers exceptional privacy while remaining close to everything Kingston has to offer. Soaring ceilings, an open floor plan, and abundant natural light create a bright, airy setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen opens to the main living area, while three sets of new Pella sliding doors connect the interior to the expansive deck and surrounding landscape. A striking stone fireplace anchors the living space and provides a welcoming gathering place in cooler months. Designed for comfortable year-round living, the home has been upgraded with energy-efficient split systems throughout for heating and air conditioning, along with a whole-house dehumidification system. Two main-level suites, a first-floor utility room, mudroom, and direct access from the attached garage make one-level living easy. Upstairs, an additional suite includes a private bath, large cedar closet, and adjoining room ideal for a nursery, office, or sitting room. The walk-out lower level provides even more flexible space, with a family room, workshop, wine cellar, and generous storage. There is also potential to create an additional guest suite with the addition of a bathroom. With more than six private acres, direct access to protected state forest, generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, and thoughtful recent upgrades, this is a distinctive Hudson Valley retreat just minutes from Uptown Kingston.
