An Updated Kingston Bungalow, a Mile Outside the Stockade District

  |  December 10, 2025

Kingston’s housing inventory includes a variety of house styles, from grand to petite.

This Kingston bungalow is on the smaller side, at 1,036 square feet, but it’s perfect for a starter home or for empty-nesters. The front porch is welcoming, with gray steps and white railings flanked by mature hydrangeas.

A gorgeously vintage front door pops against the white siding on the generously sized porch.

Twin colonnades add a Craftsman touch to the space between the living and dining rooms.

The living room is a good size; that large floor vent between the colonnades will be a favorite sleeping spot for Fido, we bet.

The dining room is bright and pretty, with white walls and a richly toned hardwood floor.

That flooring continues to the brand-new kitchen, which has a simple yet elegant layout with white cabinetry and appliances and butcher-block counters. A mullioned-glass door leads to a mudroom and the basement stairs.

One bedroom is just off the living room.

The gray-carpeted space is currently used as an office.

The second bedroom has the same carpeting and plenty of room for a big bed.

The updated bathroom reflects the home’s c.1934 vintage with an old-fashioned, penny-tile floor and a white vanity.

The third bedroom has the same decor as the other two.

The unfinished basement has room for you and your musical buddies. The unfinished second level, too, has potential for expansion.

The backyard has a broken-bluestone patio that is set among embedded Kingston conglomerate. It’s a mile from here to the Stockade District, where you can enjoy a book and a brew at Rough Draft Bar & Books.
