About this home

There is a specific kind of magic that comes with living where the land meets the tide. Tucked into the historic waterfront pocket of Sleightsburgh, 719 Second Avenue offers a rare opportunity to build a life dictated by the rhythm of the Hudson River. This level, .11-acre lot is mostly cleared and ready for a vision that prioritizes the outdoors, offering a quieter, more grounded alternative to the bustle of the city while keeping every modern convenience within reach. The standout feature here is the perspective. Because of the unique positioning of the lot, you're treated to sweeping, four-season views of the Hudson River that transform with the calendar, from the lush greens of summer to the dramatic, icy whites of mid-winter. The iconic Kingston Lighthouse sits right in your line of sight as a picturesque landmark that glows against the water year-round. For those who live for the water, the lifestyle is effortless. A local boat launch is just .03 miles away, making it incredibly easy to drop a kayak or canoe in for a sunrise paddle. The adjacent park offers trails and fishing spots, while the refreshing waters of Sojourner Truth State Park are only 3-4 miles away for summer swimming. The property is already equipped with a shed and the practicalities of building are simplified with municipal water, sewer, and gas all available at the street. While the immediate setting feels like a private escape, Kingston's most celebrated hotspots are just minutes away. You can spend your mornings at the Waterfront Farmers Market, grab a sourdough pizza at Kingston Standard, or enjoy a glass of wine at Brunette. From the classic vibes at Ship to Shore to the local museums and river cruises, the best of the Rondout is at your fingertips. Plus, with a straightforward drive down 9W to the Poughkeepsie Metro-North, staying connected to the city is a breeze. This is a rare chance to claim a piece of the Hudson Valley and build something truly special.
