About this home

Affordable pied-a-terre on Tompkins Street! A true retreat for artists, creative spirits, and anyone seeking a sense of calm, this enchanting two-story home is nestled on the edge of Kingston's historic Ponckhockie neighborhood and just steps from Kingston's Downtown Waterfront. Built in 1860, it beautifully preserves its old-world character, with original hardwood floors, pressed-tin ceilings, and intricate moldings that provide warmth throughout. This inviting two-bedroom, one-bath residence features a charming eat-in kitchen and a private backyard--an idyllic setting for morning coffee, gardening, creative pursuits, or relaxing at day's end. Minutes from Sojourner Truth State Park which hosts the new, popular summer hot spot, Lake Sophia, and just a pleasant walk from the Rondout waterfront, The Empire State Trail, and the Strand's galleries, shops, and restaurants, this distinctive home offers a rare blend of historic beauty, artistic energy, and effortless everyday convenience.
