About this House

Calling all financially savvy buyers! This classic Uptown Kingston duplex features large side-by-side 2-story apartments, each more than 1,200 square feet in size and each with its own exterior entrances, porches, heating systems, utility meters, basements and attics. Each apartment features a spacious living room, formal dining room and sunny kitchen, plus a separate den and utility room, on the main level, with 3 big bedrooms, charming balcony spaces and a full bathroom upstairs. (One of the apartments also has a half-bath downstairs.) Original architectural features include stained glass, tall ceilings and working pocket doors. In addition, the fenced property features a driveway with ample off-street parking separating the main building and a major bonus: a standalone 2-story 2-car garage building with a full bathroom and finished room on the ground level, plus an unfinished 800+ square foot living space upstairs, with framing, electric and plumbing already roughed in, and skylights installed, for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with open kitchen and dramatic cathedral ceilings. The 2 existing units and the potential garage apartment are each separately metered for gas and electric and already feature natural-gas heating units. With Kingston’s anticipated move this year to a "form-based" zoning code, complete with incentives for property owners to create new accessory-dwelling units (ADUs) for tenants, this property, minutes by foot from the Kingston Stockade district, presents the perfect opportunity to live graciously and spaciously in one of the Hudson Valley’s hottest neighborhoods, while potentially covering your costs with income from 2 other units.
259 Washington Avenue, Kingston, NY 12401 is a 7 bedroom, 3 bathroom multi-family built in 1900. It last sold for $575,000 on Jul 17, 2023 (5% above the $549,000 asking price). This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $718,500, with a rent estimate of $2,066/month.
