About This Home
Built between 1845 and 1860, the John Smith House is a rare architectural treasure—an iconic Kingston mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2002 for its distinctive Italianate style and regional significance. Just minutes from the city's Stockade District, the home has been carefully renovated by its current owners, blending comfort-driven design with period authenticity.
Public Open House, Sunday, 6/29 from noon till 2 PM.
The main floor features a broad central hallway, flanked by two formal parlors presented as a sitting room and library, perfect for reading, relaxing, or entertaining. These front rooms retain their original moldings, doors, trims, and distinctive coved plaster ceilings, all in excellent condition. The expansive dining room offers a gracious setting for gatherings, with natural light pouring in through tall bay windows and historic millwork framing the space in quiet sophistication. It's a room that balances formality with warmth—perfect for modern hosting in a classic setting.
Upstairs, a central hall mirrors the floor plan below, with four spacious bedrooms set in each corner for privacy and balance. At the heart of the floor plan are two full, beautifully updated bathrooms that blend timeless materials with modern design. The home's tall ceilings and clean architectural lines create a sense of light, scale, and elegance throughout.
The basement level includes several rooms not counted in the listed square footage or room count. Once essential to the home's daily operations, these spaces now offer clear potential for additional living, working, or wellness uses—ideal for a home office, gym, laundry, sauna, or extra storage.
With its preserved 19th-century detailing, modern updates, and major system improvements already in place, the John Smith House offers a unique blend of history, beauty, and long-term value in one of Kingston's most desirable neighborhoods.''
