19 Lounsbury Ct Kingston, NY 12401

UPTOWN KINGSTON AT ITS BEST: Golden opportunity to own a beautifully maintained 1960s charmer on a 1-acre park-like parcel in Uptown Kingston. Totally private dead-end street, yet an easy walk to weekly farmers market and happening restaurants, bars and boutique shops in the Historic Uptown Stockade Area. For NYC commuters, it’s just five minutes to the Trailways bus station. Completely fenced back yard keeps the dogs in and the deer out, with a stream and mature professional landscaping throughout. Gorgeous perennial beds bloom sequentially from spring through fall – daffodils, lilies, hydrangeas, hostas, peonies and roses. The level and flat back yard has all-day sun and ample room for a pool. An expansive bluestone patio runs the full width of the house. Lots of mature specimen trees here, including willows, Norway spruces and magnolias. 19 Lounsbury Court in Kingston features a stepped front entry, classic wood shutters and brick facing accented with a carriage-style garage door, and gracious bluestone walkways. The house has great flow, in every season. Entertain a large group of friends for a summer barbecue or enjoy a cozy TV night at home by the fire. The first floor has the feel of a classic Colonial, with a living room that offers large windows, custom built-ins and a bright eastern exposure – just the spot for a morning cup of coffee. The adjacent formal dining room has French door sliders that lead to a lighted covered porch.
