This lovely turn of the century immaculately maintained brick cape has the deliberate blend of modern updates and country charm. 276 Old Kingston is sited on a magical acre with interesting features, rocky topography and unique outbuildings. Stepping inside, you're immediately struck by the gleaming wide plank hardwood floors. The main floor is divided by the staircase, to the left, the large kitchen with ample dining space. The sliding glass door allows light to stream in. The large deck is a few years old with a modern privacy screen and provides an ideal place for relaxing or entertaining. The other side is a large living room with built in shelves along the wall and charming touches such as the remnants of a brick chimney. At the front end of the living room is a functional office nook, complete with a built- in desk & shelves and a full wall built in bookcase. At the back of the house is a great flex space with it's own entrance, a full bath and what is currently used as a bedroom but could also be an office or den space with sliding glass doors to the back of the deck. It also includes a unique loft area for additional sleeping or kids play area. Upstairs is the 2nd full bath and the 3 bedrooms. The basement has been recently waterproofed with a full perimeter system and wall vapor barriers so it's a great space for storage. Recently, five highly efficient mini split HVAC systems were added for the ultimate in personalized comfort. Walking outside, there's a rock outcropping with a fire-pit with seating area and seasonal views, a level area great for a pool or playing games, a well maintained red barn with dirt floor providing ample outdoor storage, and an old smokehouse turned into a garden shed. What's affectionately called the "chicken coop" is just over 900 sq ft with concrete floors and open windows, a newly replaced and reinforced roof, where you can create a space to wherever your imagination takes you. Situated on a walking and biking friendly back road, you're just a quick stroll to the intersection with Huguenot St. and an entrance to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. Only a short bike ride or drive to the village center, for shopping, dining and all the outdoor activities New Paltz has to offer.
