110 Clinton Avenue, Kingston, NY 12401

The impeccably-restored Clinton Carriage is a rare offering, combining historic elegance with modern living in the heart of vibrant uptown Kingston. This antique carriage house was meticulously renovated by well-known blogger, Daniel Kanter, and documented on his popular blog manhattan-nest.com. In addition to its historically-sensitive preservation, incorporating many restored and reclaimed materials, this jewel box is effectively a new build - offering all new systems, windows, roof, and insulation. The fully fenced property also includes established gardens and a private rear patio. Traveling up Clinton Ave, you could easily miss this home if you didn't know it was there. Set back from the street front and neighboring homes, the charming clapboard facade and sunburst portico welcome the westerly glow. A bluestone path leads through a picket fence and lush garden to the entry door, adorned by an antique brass knocker and flanked by transom windows. Inside, sunshine cascades across original hardwood floors that connect the living, dining and kitchen spaces on this level. The front parlor features a rich wood mantle, antique light fixtures, and reclaimed wood chair rail and lower wall trim. Tucked down a hallway between the living room and stairwell, you'll find custom built-in storage and a private powder room. The dining room features a second decorative fireplace with wood mantle, antique chandelier and wall sconces, and reclaimed wood wainscoting walls with plate rail. This room flows conveniently into the well-equipped kitchen that spans the back section of the house. In addition to custom millwork providing ample storage, the kitchen also features marble countertops, subway tile backsplash, designer lighting, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen provides access to both the lower level with laundry and utilities, and the rear patio. The back section of yard enjoys an 8-foot cedar privacy fence, providing an inner-city oasis with garden beds, established ornamental trees, a custom shed for outdoor storage, and a pea gravel area for seating and entertaining. Upstairs in the home are two large bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams and an array of windows. The bedrooms also feature reclaimed wall wainscoting, and window trim in designer paint colors. Original hardwood floors continue throughout this level, with classic black and white decorative tile in the large bathroom on this level. The bathroom features a cast iron clawfoot tub, original built-in storage with concealed laundry chute, and wall-mounted trough sink with double faucets. In addition to being one of the finest and most notable historic restorations in town, this home has ideal access - including prime walkability to both the Uptown Stockade and Midtown Broadway corridor. Just around the corner is popular coffee shop and cafe, Camp Kingston, as well as neighboring microbrewery, Keegan Ales. While the weekly uptown Farmers Market is just a half mile away.
