Are the grown kids living at home? This pristine Kingston Victorian farmhouse comes with an accessory apartment. 

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic sent college students back home to live with the parents, around 55% of 18-24-year-olds were already living at home, anyway, according to US Census Bureau findings in 2017. If you’re looking at delaying Empty Nest Syndrome for another year or two, you might be interested in the listings Upstater will be serving up this week, since all of them include an extra apartment. First on the list is this c.1901 rustic Victorian home, situated in Kingston’s Rondout district.

The backyard is nearly a quarter-acre in size, large enough to accommodate lush flower beds. From here, the Rondout Creek and marina are two blocks south, with local businesses situated just a couple of blocks east.
