72-74 Main Street , Kingston, NY 12401

At the heart of history... and all of the action. Built in 1723, the Tobias Swart House is a rare survivor of the 1777 British burning of Kingston, still standing proud and revitalized today in the heart of the city's hot Stockade District. Rare too is its flexibility: The center-hall main house (#74) comes with an adjoining but separate townhouse (#72) that can continue serving as a rental-income generator, host guests, or be incorporated into the main house for additional space. The main residence currently offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with a renovated high-end kitchen, ground-floor laundry, central A/C, a large fenced courtyard patio for private outdoor living, a basement and a spacious additional storage room with its own exterior entry. The smaller townhouse features bright, open floor-through living spaces on each level, plus a bedroom, full bath, updated kitchen, and its own upper-level fenced deck. Both houses are fully renovated, each with separately metered systems, and enjoy deeded rights to 4 off-street parking spaces at the rear of the buildings, in addition to the carport. Not that you'll need a car often. All of this sits literally within sight of the Old Dutch Church and the Fred Johnston House museum, and mere steps from banks, a post office, a popular weekend farmers market, and all the restaurants, shops and galleries that have made the Stockade District one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the Hudson Valley.
