About This Home
Step inside a piece of Hudson Valley history, welcome to The Rifton, a lovingly restored 1870s church nestled in Ulster Park, just minutes from the buzzing upstate hotspot of Kingston. This one-of-a-kind property has captured hearts from around the world, offering a breathtaking escape where history and creativity converge.
The soaring 30-foot ceilings of the great room set the stage for an unforgettable experience, framed by exposed beams and the church's original rough-hewn stone walls. A wood-fired open stone firepit anchors the living space, perfect for gathering with loved ones, while glass doors open to a deck that feels like a perch in the treetops. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home offers ample space for hosting and retreating alike. Thoughtful modern updates, including a fully renovated kitchen and baths, ensure comfort without compromising character, and details like a classic clawfoot tub pay homage to the past while elevating everyday living. An entire wing dedicated to studio/gallery or office space creates a true haven for artists and visionaries. Whether you're seeking a full-time architectural stunner, a dreamy weekend escape, or a unique investment property, The Rifton delivers on every front.
Located in the town of Ulster Park, just outside Kingston, you'll enjoy easy access to world-class dining, arts, and culture. Spend afternoons exploring the Rondout waterfront, browsing the shops along Kingston's historic Stockade District, or sampling local favorites like Rough Draft Bar and Books and Brunette Wine Bar. Only 90 minutes from NYC, and 30 minutes to Metro North, The Rifton offers the perfect balance of escape and connection, making it an extraordinary opportunity for those seeking a one-of-a-kind upstate lifestyle.
