Kingston..."Brooklyn on the Hudson"...


I always love when I have clients from the city come up to look at houses in Woodstock, and after talking to them think Kingston might be a better fit.  To give them an idea of Kingston, I may have them meet in the Kingston office instead of meeting in our Woodstock office.  My Kingston office is in a very historic area and there are lots of shoppes, restaurants, and plenty of historic buildings from when this was NY’s first capitol.

Kingston has an artistic urban vibe, but you can still find, (like I did) a home that is on a dirt road and feels miles away, but is just a few minutes from EVERYTHING you need!

Kingston is not for everyone.  It’s a very diverse community where the locals really want to meet new people.  Some of my buyer clients really don’t want that, and would prefer to bring supplies and really escape for a remote weekend, (yes, I can find that also for you)!

Here is a photo log from our company Flickr page of Kingston…

Here are two of my own listings I have on right now that I feel are really the BEST this city has to offer!

I take great pride in this city, and would really love to show you around to all it has to offer, (even if you have no plans of buying property here)!

Many thanks, and have a great weekend,

(Fridays are a Realtor’s Monday)!

The rich history in Ulster County Real Estate

Ten years ago when I was searching for that perfect piece of Hudson Valley Real Estate, I was fortunate to find an old farmhouse on the Hudson River.  The house I have been loving living in all this time has a really great Hudson Valley history. 
Kingston at one time about 100 years ago was home to many brick companies along the river.  The bricks were built here and taken by barge to Manhattan to help build the city.  The house I live in belonged to the Goldrick family which was also on the site of the Goldrick brick company.  The longer I have lived here, the more incredible things I learn about Goldrick bricks, (they built the original Yankee Stadium that was just taken down)!
On May 12th my home is going to be on the Saugerties historic home tour!  I live in the Town of Ulster, but my home is considered the "Flatbush" part of Saugerties.  Saugerties was just featured in Hudson Valley Magazine as  one of the "7 top towns" in the Hudson Valley!  Ulster County Real Estate in Saugerties is a very smart buy right now!
Here is the information about the Historic Saugerties Tour...
