322 Albany Ave, Kingston, NY 12401 listing details

An extraordinary house that pays you to live in it: This handsome center-hall estate house, born in the 1820s but updated and expanded since, is beautifully situated on one of Kingston's oldest streets and is now home to "The Antique Stone House," a successful, legally permitted Bed & Breakfast that consistently ranks near the top regionally for customer satisfaction on TripAdvisor and other popular travel websites. The ongoing B&B business and a separate 2-family apartment house, also included with the property, currently generate more than $45,000 in annual revenue, with poten...tial for more. Upgrade the 2-family building and an additional 2-story mother-in-law suite and greenhouse for even more B&B potential, or live privately and stylishly in one while generating significant income with the other structures. Beyond its savvy economics, the property is stunning and private, on almost an acre of land despite its central location convenient to Uptown Kingston. The main house features an unusual double-sized living room with 2 fireplaces, coffered ceiling and symmetrical floor-to-ceiling windows on three exposures, plus a large dining room (with fireplace) that can seat 24, a private paneled den, and a charming sun room overlooking a swimming pool and gardens with slate patios that mirror the house's exterior. The house has central air-conditioning and no fewer than 5 wood-burning fireplaces that are currently used by the owners and guests. Upstairs are three large bedrooms, including an expansive master suite with fireplace and dressing closet, and two full bathrooms. Other bygone architectural elements include deeply inset interior doors with quarter-paneling and oversized surrounds, heavy brass door hardware and hinges, built-in bookcases (and a bank safe), floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the ground floor, a tiled foyer, and back staircase. The main house is connected to a charming 2-floor mother-in-law suite and a massive 2-car garage by a slate-floored greenhouse. Finally, there's the the rear apartment building, with 2 rental units, each featuring a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living/dining room, plus individual porches and ample parking and privacy. Recent upgrades include new roofs on the main house and garage, and a central A/C compressor. Show more
