About This Home
An Impeccable Victorian Jewel with Sunset Mountain Views
Set high above the city on a quiet street in the heart of midtown, this luminous Victorian
offers 180-degree sunset mountain views, framed by mature hedging and romantic
Edwardian gardens. Constructed in 1896, this home is a rare fusion of heritage and modern
elegance, the home was thoughtfully reimagined in 2019 by two photographers with a
refined eye for detail — every room a study in natural light, texture, and color, including a
carefully curated palette of Farrow & Ball hues. Every inch has been thoughtfully reimagined — from the elegant Castrads custom radiators and dark white oak flooring underfoot, to the grand Marvin windows that bathe the interior
in natural light. An entirely architect re-envisioned kitchen and bathrooms which evoke a
quiet luxury more often found in the pages of World of Interiors than in your average upstate
renovation. Not only is this home poetry in space, it’s also technically sound — with entirely
new electric, 200 amp service and plumbing throughout, seamlessly integrated behind its
timeless aesthetic. Solar panels installed on the back of the house provides 3.4 MW of
electricity annually. Home automation is provided through Nest thermostats and Nest Protect
smoke and CO alarms. The kitchen is appointed with a Rohl Shaws 33” farmhouse sink, Barber Wilson 1890’s style
bridge faucet, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, Miele 30” range, Miele dishwasher, Caesarstone
countertops and custom touches throughout. Just beyond, a sweet two-door laundry room
holds a Whirlpool washer and dryer — stylish utility tucked discreetly into the flow of
everyday life. Upstairs, the second floor unfolds like a private sanctuary. The elegant main bedroom features
a grand picture window with an expansive mountain-facing window — offers breathtaking
views stretching from Woodstock to Phoenicia. A second bedroom feels suspended in the sky,
while a luminous study with stained glass windows gazes west toward the mountains. A
generous library or screening room offers the perfect place to gather, read, or retreat. On the
third floor, a fully drywalled and insulated attic awaits — a sun-soaked studio, dreamy guest
suite, or secret writing room in the making. Set just steps from Kingston’s beloved rail trail and equidistant to Uptown’s historic charm, the Rondout’s waterfront magic, and the creative energy of the Midtown Arts District, this
home is perfectly placed for the full Hudson Valley experience. Rhinebeck, Woodstock, New
Paltz, and Stone Ridge are all within 20 minutes — though you may find it hard to leave this
gorgeous sanctuary.
