A 19th century wood-frame row house tucked away near Coffey Park in Red Hook makes the most of its vintage details while also incorporating updates such as mini-split air conditioning and a backyard camper. Located at 12 Huntington Street, the dwelling is set up as a single-family, with public rooms on the raised ground floor, four bedrooms above, and a full bathroom on each level. In the English basement is a workshop and storage.

The ceilings are high and there are large windows throughout the house, along with an original stair, wood floors, moldings, and bead board. The parlor boasts an arched marble mantel, and a large arched doorway leading to the dining room and kitchen.

One of the upstairs bedrooms retains a metal sink, cupboards, and blue wall tile from a long-ago kitchen. Both bathrooms feature black and white wall and floor tile from the early 20th century as well as more recent updates.

The semi-subterranean workshop is well appointed and appears dry and clean with white-painted rafters and windows in a light well. There is mini-split air conditioning throughout, photos show.

The backyard is sizable and offers a canvas for a green thumb with a patio and trees in containers. The aforementioned camper could be handy for storage or guests.

While the exterior is now covered in composite shingles, old tax photos show a dainty cornice and ironwork perhaps dating from the Italianate or Neo-Grec periods.
