Home Details for 133 Pearl Street

Iconic charm, inside and out: The Henry L. Abbey house, built in the late 19th Century by a grain merchant-turned-poet and still one of the best remaining examples of Gothic Revival farmhouse architecture in the Hudson Valley, blends irreplaceable detail with modern comforts and a timelessly cozy vibe. A mere 3 blocks from the heart of Uptown Kingston's popular Stockade District, the house sits amid mature trees behind a picket fence, and features an unusually modern layout despite its age, with a large living room and separate dining room opening to a spacious updated kitchen, each room bathed in sunlight from original oversized windows on multiple sides. There's also a full bathroom on the main floor and a welcoming front porch large enough for gathering friends. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a second full bathroom, all arrayed on a gracious central landing hall with an original porthole-style round window, just one of many wonderfully preserved architectural details, including board-and-batten siding, a steeply pitched roof with original brackets and corbels, a trefoil gable cutout, a lattice-design ceiling motif in the living room and other original fretwork. Modern updates include the kitchen and bathrooms, plus ductless air conditioning. A full semi-finished basement and one-car garage offer generous storage space. All told, it's a unique combination of original character and laid-back style minutes by foot from the galleries, restaurants, shops and transportation to NYC, that have made Uptown Kingston's Stockade District one of the Hudson Valley's hottest destinations.
