Description

Welcome to 50 Spring Street at President’s Place, a spacious home rich in History, Warmth and Charm. A beautiful Center Hall Colonial built in 1875, gracefully perched a few blocks above the waterfront in Kingston’s historic Rondout District. The Rondout neighborhood is one of the most coveted areas in the wildly popular destination town of Kingston. Kingston is the Gateway to the Catskill Mountains, set on the majestic Hudson River. Many enjoy boating, fishing and water sports on the Rondout Creek and the Hudson River, and hiking or biking the many nearby trails. You’ll step back in time the moment you enter the front foyer where soaring coffered ceilings, an elegant staircase with hand-carved newel posts, and eight foot tall pocket doors welcome you. Throughout the home you will find original chestnut woodwork plus two monumental stained glass windows. As you enter the home, to the left is the parlor (or possible 5th/guest bedroom) with elegant bay windows and high ceilings adjacent to the downstairs full bathroom. To the right is a gracious living room also through an impressive large chestnut pocket door. A beautiful mirrored fireplace and mantle, fabulous hardwood floors, as well as fantastic light from the many tall windows make this an elegant room. Yet another set of pocket doors leads to a light-filled, Thanksgiving-sized dining room which invites large gatherings. A true nod to the home’s past is the butler’s pantry—with its original dumbwaiter still intact—and glass front cabinets to display your fine dishware and glassware. It connects the dining room to a large, thoughtfully updated kitchen and pantry that perfectly balance modern convenience with timeless character. Just beyond the kitchen, step out to a private blue stone patio and lush garden—your own quiet retreat. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious light-filled bedrooms, including one with an en-suite full bath. Another full bath is down the hall. The top floor is an incredibly large, unfinished attic with an impressive 16’ peak, with hints of the original maid’s quarters still present. The full basement showcases its historic stone foundation with several smaller rooms, offering the perfect opportunity to create a wine cellar, workshop, or additional storage. There is off-street parking for two cars (one featuring an EV charger. This treasure is just a short walk to the waterfront where you can enjoy wonderful restaurants, hunt for treasures in antique shops and galleries, hop on the rail trail, and soak up everything that makes Kingston’s Strand the place to be!
