Pou premye fwa nan katre ane, The Coykendall House, yon Viktoryen Queen Anne ki byen konsève nan Kingston, NY, ap revele. Bati anviwon 1896 e ki chita anlè Waterfront istorik Rondout nan Kingston, ofrann ra sa a melanje entegrite achitekti, lavi modèn rafine, ak pwoksimite sere ak bon restoran, atizay ak kilti, marina, ak boutik ki ofri espesyalite. Komisyonnen pa George ak Emma Coykendall, figi enpòtan nan epòk endistriyèl larivyè Hudson, kay la montre yon atizana ke yo pa ka reyalize jodi a. Detay orijinal yo rete etonan entak, ki gen ladan pòt poket bwa chenn pikan, plis pase de douzèn transom vè kale, travay an bwa ki fèt a la men, planche sann, papye miray 1896 ki konsève ak vès ou, ak plizyè chemine an wòch ak an bwa. Sal la ouvri ak gras teyat. Twa gwo fenèt dominante ap fè fas ak rue a, chak fèmen ak transom vè kale orijinal 1896 li yo ki gaye koulè tankou konfeti sou planche sann yo. Deja, yon alcove vè koub ra pliye limyè apremidi a an riban flanbo ki sanble ap danse sou pyanon ti. Ki kouvri tout lajè kay la, sal manje ofisyèl la baze sou yon chemine frapan ki vlope nan karan tou sa te fè a la men. Panèl chenn, pwopòsyon jantiy, ak limyè ki briye raple yon tan kote repa yo te okazyon ak òganizasyon te yon atizay. Li fasil imajine manje midi chaje ak rose, dinnè dini ak chandèl, ak aswè ki pwolonje san efò nan nuit. Yon eskalye ki angale mennen nan yon alcove lekti ak vè kale ki klere ak limyè pendentif orijinal Tiffany li, yon bwat bijou koulè ak trankilite. Eskalye a vire apre sa nan yon seviy akè ki lejè ak pwòp chemine li, kote limyè cho ranmase ak atizana kay la sanble ap respire. Nan nivo sa a, chanm yo chaje ak latè ki kalm ki soti nan yon lòt epòk. Suite prensipal la elaji tout lajè kay la, ankré pa yon chemine ki klere ak yon ti plas ki entim ki fè pati nan kay la. Just apre, zòn abiye a montre de lavabo doub orijinal 1896 ki remakab, yon konserve eksepsyonèl de lux Viktoryen ki santi l tou de istorik ak inatandi modèn. Suite beny a ki sanble ak spa a envite retreat, li gen yon douch marb ki ka pran de moun, yon sauna teck, ak yon ti ban jacuzzi. Dezyèm etaj ki nan tower a revele yon biwo ki plen limyè, kote twa gwo fenèt, toujou kouvri ak ti rad orijinal yo ke Coykendalls te chwazi pèsonèlman, kadre vye ki te enspire imajinasyon pou plis pase 130 ane. Se yon espas ki santi l both istwa ak enspire, a la fwa apwopriye pou travay kreyatif oswa refleksyon trankil. Anwo a, twazyèm etaj la, ki te orijinalman fèt kòm katye sèvis ak ki toujou aksesib atravè eskalye entèn lan, kenbe entegrite achitekti etonan. Espas ki fèt ak plezi yo gen ladan yon chanm won ki kaptivan ki vlope nan ray ki koub, yon bibliyotèk ki gen ray bwa ki kache, ak yon beny frapan ak yon ti ban pye ki fèt anba plafon an. Dèyè sèn nan, kay la te byen mete ajou ak sistèm mekanik komèsyal ki modèn, yon jeneratè ki ka bay pouvwa tout kay la pandan move tan, ak yon nouvo do kay ki enstale sou tèt pik konplèks kay la, turèt, ak galri, toutotan li konsève kat chemine orijinal yo. Mete sou yon gwo doub tè, tè a gen jaden perenn etabli, yon gwo yard prive ki kache dèyè pye yew maturit, ak yon chemen ki vòlè ale nan yon gazebo ki fèk gade direksyon Mont Catskill. Nan devan pwopriyete a, dènye lamp gaz ki rete nan Kingston kanpe, kounye a elektrifye men ki rich ak cham ansyen. Pandan 130 ane sa yo, ak sèlman sis moun ki te jere li anvan li, kay sa a te pwoteje ak anpil refleksyon, ki dènyèman pa kolektè liv ansyen ki te devwe lavi yo pou konsèvasyon, istwa, ak eritaj. Kounye a, pou premye fwa nan yon jenerasyon, li ouvri tèt li pou yon nouvo chapit. Kay sa yo ki gen distenksyon sa a ra jwenn. Sa yo ki konsa bèl entak, konsa pwofondman istorik se pi ra toujou.

For the first time in forty years, The Coykendall House, a meticulously preserved Queen Anne Victorian in Kingston, NY, is revealed. Built circa 1896 and perched above Kingston's historic Rondout Waterfront, this rare offering seamlessly blends architectural integrity, refined modern living, and close proximity to fine dining, arts and culture, marinas, and boutique shopping. Commissioned by George and Emma Coykendall, prominent figures of the Hudson River's industrial era, the home showcases craftsmanship that cannot be replicated today. Original details remain remarkably intact, including pristine oak pocket doors, more than two dozen stained glass transoms, hand carved woodwork, ash floors, preserved 1896 wallpaper and drapery, and multiple stone and wood fireplaces. The parlor unfolds with theatrical grace. Three commanding windows face the street, each crowned with its original 1896 stained-glass transom that scatters color like confetti across the ash floors. Beyond them, a rare curved-glass alcove bends the afternoon light into flickering ribbons that seem to dance across the baby grand piano. Spanning the full width of the house, the formal dining room is anchored by a striking fireplace framed in handmade butterscotch tiles. Oak paneling, generous proportions, and luminous light recall a time when meals were occasions and hosting was an art. It is easy to imagine rose laden luncheons, candlelit dinners, and evenings that stretched effortlessly into night. A sweeping staircase leads to a serene stained glass reading alcove illuminated by its original Tiffany pendant light, a jewel box of color and quiet. The stairway then turns toward an airy upper landing with its own fireplace, where warm light gathers and the home's craftsmanship seems to exhale. On this level, the bedrooms are imbued with the quiet grandeur of another era. The primary suite stretches the full width of the house, anchored by a luminous fireplace and intimate built-in seating. Just beyond, the dressing area showcases remarkable original 1896 double sinks, an exquisite preservation of Victorian luxury that feels both historic and unexpectedly modern. The spa like ensuite invites retreat, featuring a two person marble tiled shower, a teak sauna, and a jacuzzi soaking tub. The tower's second floor reveals a light-filled office, where three tall windows, still draped in the original curtains personally selected by the Coykendalls, frame views that have inspired imagination for more than 130 years. It is a space that feels both storied and inspired, equally suited for creative work or quiet reflection. Above, the third floor, originally designed as service quarters and still accessed by the internal stairwell, retains remarkable architectural integrity. Delightfully finished spaces include a captivating circular turret room wrapped in curving shelving, a tucked away wood shelved library, and a striking bath with a clawfoot tub nestled beneath the eaves. Behind the scenes, the home has been thoughtfully updated with state of the art commercial mechanical systems, a whole house generator for seamless power during inclement weather, and a newer roof installed over the home's complex peaks, turret, and porches, all while preserving the original four chimneys. Set on an oversized double lot, the grounds feature established perennial gardens, a large private yard hidden behind mature yews, and a winding path to a gazebo with views toward the Catskill Mountains. At the front of the property stands Kingston's last remaining gas lamppost, now electrified yet rich with old-world charm. For 130 years, and with only six stewards before it, this home has been thoughtfully protected, most recently by antiquarian book collectors whose lives were devoted to preservation, story, and legacy. Now, for the first time in a generation, it opens itself to a new chapter. Homes of this distinction seldom appear. Rarer still are those so beautifully intact, so deeply storied. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
