Poolside living on one level: This roomy brick ranch is close to all the action in Kingston's historic Rondout district but carries a hint of south Florida and California, too. Centered on a private, fenced courtyard with an in-ground pool, the house features floor-to-ceiling windows and doors facing the pool from most rooms, including the kitchen and sun room. Now configured as a 2-bedroom house with a large media room, the house can easily be reconverted back to 3 bedrooms, while still keeping the oversized primary bedroom with custom built-ins and its own enormous spa-like bathroom with skylight and separate tub and walk-in shower. The large living room, with gas-insert fireplace, opens to a sunny dining room then the pool, patio and covered lanai beyond, providing a seamless indoor-outdoor setting for entertaining family or large gatherings. The full basement includes a second kitchen, laundry room and half bathroom. Sited on a quiet corner lot in the sought-after Hutton Park neighborhood, this house puts you poolside but also minutes from all the restaurants, galleries, festivals and boat and kayak launches that have made the Rondout district one of the Hudson Valley's hottest neighborhoods. NOTE: The county property record describes the house as 2 bedrooms. Making it 3 bedrooms would involve converting the media room back to its prior use as a bedroom, and could require re-installing a closing door between that space and the dining room.
