57 Emerson Street

ACCEPTED OFFER AS OF 9/18/24. Original detail and loads of character, all meticulously preserved: Emerson House 1909, a stately Queen Anne classic, is walkable to all the action in Uptown Kingston's hip Stockade District but still evokes an earlier era. The house's bluestone front steps, river-rock foundation and graciously deep front porch set the tone from the moment you arrive, and, once inside, the sense of old-school craftsmanship only escalates. The switch-back staircase in the oversized entry hall features intact chestnut paneling, a look continued throughout the house with pristinely finished and never-painted window and door surrounds, other decorative trim work and hardwood floors. On the ground floor, the sunny living room, featuring a gas-insert corner fireplace, original stained-glass windows and tall ceilings, flows graciously into a large, bay-windowed dining room, and, just beyond, a butler's pantry and oversized kitchen with half bath and laundry. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms centered on a paneled landing plus an updated full bathroom. On the third floor is a bright, enormous and fully finished studio space, with a 12-foot ceiling at it peak, perfect for at-home work or informal hang-outs. The property includes ample off-street parking plus a lovely fenced backyard featuring a shaded deck and a garden of perennials and mature shrubs. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained house of wonderful vintage character, just 2 hours by car or bus from NYC and minutes by foot from the restaurants, galleries and historic sites that have made Uptown Kingston one of the hottest neighborhoods in the Hudson Valley.
