107 Abeel Street

Restored but re-imagined, in all the best ways: The Rudolph Kruger house, built by a prominent Kingston Rondout barber in the 19th Century, retains wonderful historic detail while also embracing modern life with a stylish and award-winning renovation that masterfully makes the most of a waterfront location and an unusually large block-deep parcel. The Federal-style townhouse, graciously set back from the sidewalk with a charming fenced front garden, features a classic clapboard look and feel, now opened up to create a stylishly integrated living room, dining room, and cathedral-ceilinged kitchen opening through floor-to-ceiling sliders to a sunny and completely private backyard. Your own off-street parking for 2-3 cars is cleverly hidden behind a newly installed custom fence at the rear West Union Street end of this outdoor retreat. Inside and upstairs are 3 roomy bedrooms, including a floor-through primary suite, and 2 spa-worthy bathrooms (one per floor, plus a half bath on the ground floor), and an office alcove dramatically overlooking the kitchen. All systems are updated and include a 2-year-old natural-gas IBC high-efficiency boiler, multiple ductless split systems for cooling on all three levels, high-end replacement windows, a standing-seam metal roof installed in 2010, plus updated wiring and plumbing throughout. Historic but modern in feel, this is a unique and move-in ready opportunity, 2 hours by car from Midtown Manhattan and mere minutes by foot to all the restaurants, galleries, festivals and boat and kayak launches that have made the Kingston Rondout one of the Hudson Valley's hottest neighborhoods.
