Isang kapritsoso at bato-batong Italianate sa hinahanap-hangang Rondout na kapitbahayan ng Kingston. Isang dating parsonage, ang nakakabighaning harapan ay may malalalim na braket na eaves at pinalamutian ng mga cornice na katangian ng istilo at panahon. Ang mga bilog na bintana ay pintura na may alikabok na lilim ng rosas, at ang nakatakip na harapang beranda ay may napakataas na kisame. Nakatago sa likod ng isang perennial garden, ito ay isang tahimik na lugar upang panoorin ang mundo. Sa loob, ang tahanan mula c1863 ay nananatili ang karamihan sa orihinal na alindog nito na may 11 talampakang kisame, maraming fireplace, at isang kamangha-manghang halo ng luma at bago. Ang kasalukuyang may-ari ay nagsagawa ng malaking pagbabagong-anyo. Ang kusina ay ganap na isinilang muli na may di-inaasahang moderno at malinis na linya na nahaluan ng mga makasaysayang elemento. Matatagpuan mo ang isang nakakagulat at kaakit-akit na maliwanag na asul na kisame, isang lumang pugon na kasalukuyang ginagamit para sa isang pizza oven, ilalim ng counter na imbakan ng alak, at isang 48” AGA induction range. Ang espasyo ay malaki at dinisenyo para sa mga salu-salo. Ang liwanag na punung-doble na parlor ay napakaganda at maluwang, ginagamit bilang isang dining room at living room, bawat isa ay may fireplace na may orihinal na marmol na mantel. Sa itaas, mayroong apat na silid-tulugan na may opsyon para sa ikalimang nasa unang palapag. Lahat ay may fireplace at bawat isa ay pintura ng sarili nitong natatanging lilim ng maayos at masiglang tono. Ang mga banyo ay batay sa spa. Ang pangunahing suite ay lalo na maluho na may nalubog na, bilog na soaking tub at hiwalay na shower. Mayroong sentral na AC at smart controls. Sa likod, isang bakal na bakod ang naghihiwalay sa bakuran, ito ay kahanga-hangang pribado at masagana sa mga halaman. Ito ay napakalaki, na bihira para sa isang bahay sa nayon. Umupo sa lilim sa ilalim ng magagandang cherry trees, o mag-relax sa ilalim ng pergola na tanawin ang fountain. Mayroong off street parking, at isang maikling tatlong minutong lakad ay dadalhin ka sa tabing-dagat at sa mga kahanga-hangang restawran na ginawang destinasyon ng pagkain ang Kingston. Ang 85 Wurts ay mayaman sa kasaysayan, mayaman sa kulay, isang nakakapreskong pananaw sa makasaysayang pagpapanumbalik na nasa 2 oras hilaga ng NYC.

A whimsical brick Italianate in the sought after Rondout neighborhood of Kingston. A former parsonage, the stunning facade has deep, bracketed eaves and is adorned with cornices characteristic of the style and period. The rounded windows are painted a dusty shade of pink, and the covered front porch has fabulously tall ceilings. Tucked behind a perennial garden it makes for a peaceful place to watch the world go by. Inside, the c1863 home has retained much of its original charm with 11 foot ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and a fabulous mix of old & new. The current owner’s have done a major renovation. The kitchen has been completely reimagined with unexpected modern, clean lines blended in alongside the historic elements. You’ll find a surprising and delightful bright blue ceiling, an old hearth currently used to house a pizza oven, under-counter wine storage and a 48” AGA induction range. The space is large and was designed with entertaining in mind. The light filled double parlor is wonderfully spacious, used as a dining room & living room, each has a fireplace with original marble mantels. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms with an option for a fifth on the first floor. All have fireplaces & each is painted it’s own iconic hue of earthy & playful tones. The bathrooms are spa-driven. The primary suite is especially luxe with a sunken, circular soaking tub & separate shower. There is central AC and smart controls. Out back, an iron fence delineates the yard, it is wonderfully private and lush with plants. It is exceptionally large, which is rare for a village home. Sit in the shade under the beautiful cherry trees, or lounge under the pergola overlooking the fountain. There is off street parking, and a short three minute walk takes you to the waterfront & the incredible restaurants that have made Kingston a dining destination. 85 Wurts is rich in history, rich in color, a refreshing take on a historical restoration just 2h north of NYC.
