Dogwood Duplex: Kingston, NY
About The Property
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS with this fabulous downtown Kingston two-family home--perfect for an owner-occupant who wants additional income or to be converted to a single-family house. The 1440sf house is perched on a hill in the City of Kingston’s most scenic neighborhood on the Rondout Creek waterfront. It has two identical up/down units, one of which was used as a successful Airbnb, and the other of which is gutted and awaiting a new owner's vision. Similar units in Kingston rent for around $1700/mo, and 3-4br single-family homes of this size typically sell for upwards of $300k.
The front entrance, leads up a small staircase to the upper unit, while a bright red door on the side of the house, leads to the lower unit. The lower unit has an open flow living area with a bright and sunny kitchen, which features beautiful oak countertops, shiplap backsplash and colorful cabinetry. The bathroom in this unit features a fully tiled walk-in shower with double shower heads.
Plenty of parking out back, with paved spots for four cars, comfortably. And the metal carport and garage offer both storage and additional parking options. The sloped rear yard offers views of the Wurts Street Bridge (featured in HBO’s 2020 hit, The Undoing), and the surrounding Rondout area from the upper landing. Use your imagination for a terraced hillside garden with sitting areas and gardens that get good light. Lots of established plantings around as well, including lilacs, sour cherry tree, forsythia, rose of sharon, azalea, crabapple tree, wineberries, rose bush, and a pink dogwood tree that greets your arrival at the front of the house.
Sellers are leaving building materials--including maple planks for upstairs finished flooring--snow blower, mower, and other valuable items to help the new owners with maintenance and finish out. Such a great opportunity for someone looking to make this home their own--on a quiet block of Kingston's hip historic downtown neighborhood. Many great shops and restaurants within blocks, including Armadillo, Ship to Shore, Brunette Wine Bar, Clove & Creek, Milne Antiques, Facets of Earth, and Spruce Home Goods.
