A truly stunning 1863 brick Italianate home on a beautiful, tree-lined street in the historic, quaint and very fashionable Rondout District of Kingston is perfectly located, just a 3-minute walk to the vibrant waterfront, with restaurants, shops and the lively music, art and cultural scene that exemplifies Kingston, New York. Rich with history, this former parsonage was built by Turck and Burhans on the hilltop donated by Thomas Cornell to site the Romanesque Wurts St. Baptist Church and its rectory. His mansion sat diagonally with views of the Hudson River and the company's steamship harbor. Seventeen ministers and their families lived here until 1957 when #85 Wurts became a private residence. Today, this 3264 sq. ft 5 BR, 3 Bath home, has been completely renovated, preserving the exquisite historical details, but with updates to all the important things like the furnace, 200-amp electric service, plumbing, heating, central AC, roofing and architectural features. It has 11 ft. ceilings, 10 fireplaces, a Unico air handling system, 16-zone alarm service, front & back staircases, butler's pantry, pocket doors, raised paneling, 26 windows, storm windows and shutters. A former servants' wing has been converted to His and Her bathrooms with exquisite touches and high-end plumbing and finishes. The third bathroom, also on the 2nd floor, has a charming 3- foot tub and fine detailing. The home has 3 covered porches, a vine-covered loggia, 30 ft. sunken garden with waterfall (which at one time was a lap pool and could be easily converted back to a lap pool again), plus mature trees and perennial beds. The beautiful back yard, garage and driveway are enclosed by a 6 ft iron fence. The sidewalks are bluestone, and the landscaping includes gorgeous specimen trees. Incredible care and great expense has been taken in every aspect of restoring this masterpiece. For anyone who has a passion for history, and beautiful architecture in a fabulous setting, this is a must-see property!,FLOORING:Wood,Tile,Below Grnd Sq Feet:1625,OTHERROOMS:Office/Computer Room,Workshop,EQUIPMENT:Carbon Monoxide Detector,Smoke Detectors,Level 1 Desc:KITCH, FAMILY DR, FORMAL DR, FORMAL LR, FAMILY RM/DEN,Level 2 Desc:5 BR, 3 FULL BATHS, LAUNDRY,Basement:Interior Access,Unfinished Square Feet:1625,Level 3 Desc:LARGE ATTIC,InteriorFeatures:Gas Stove Connection,Gas Dryer Connection,AboveGrade:3264,ROOF:Asphalt Shingles,ExteriorFeatures:Landscaped,FOUNDATION:Stone

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
