11 Linderman Ave Kingston, NY 12401

Gracious center hall Victorian with grand central staircase, originally built as the temporary parsonage for the Fair Street Church, and then home to a local bootlegger who allegedly transported liquor through a basement tunnel system. The house retains the charm and sophistication of a bygone era including intricately carved woodwork, hardwood floors, dining room fireplace, original bathroom fixtures including glass door knobs and towel racks and other period details, all of this while incorporating modern amenities. The third floor former staff rooms with bath with claw foot tub could easily be redefined for contemporary usage as additional living or studio space. French doors from the living room lead to a covered porch overlooking the rear garden with cedar twig pavillion designed by a local craftsman. The house with its spacious rooms lends itself to family celebrations each season of the year, and also presents Airbnb potential. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Kingston's grand old houses.
