Looking to buy your first home near Kingston but not right in the city? Check out this meticulously-maintained c.1870 Victorian in the hamlet of St. Remy, about 10 minutes south of Kingston’s city center. And, like the brick home we featured earlier today, it comes with a huge yard (the yard in this case is nearly a half-acre in size) and plenty of charming houses neighboring the property.

To classify this house as “turn-key” would be the understatement of the year. It’s a delightfully light-filled space with all the details that we love in an old house: Plank flooring, original moldings, high ceilings, stained glass, and arched doorways. But we’re also fine with the energy-efficient updates like the new furnace, new insulation, and Fijitsu heat/air conditioning unit. The second floor comes with two bedrooms and the finished attic makes a fine bedroom (or office, or studio, or guest-space), as well.

In addition to Kingston, the Rondout Creek-side hamlet of St. Remy is also close to Rosendale, High Falls, and Stone Ridge. Enjoy biking but hate dodging cars? This house is minutes from the Hurley Rail Trail and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, perfect places to ride in peace among gorgeous scenery without having to worry about traffic.
