Following up on yesterday’s post about a beautiful but slightly rundown turn of the century house in Kingston, NY, we thought we’d take a look at what’s on the market in the former state capital. The most eye-popping property on the market right now, as far as we can tell, is the Cordts Mansion, a 30-room, Second Empire house on 13 acres overlooking the Hudson River. You’ve gotta click thru and check out the photos in the listing. It’s insane! And the price? $2,700,000, slightly less than what the Carroll Gardens Atrocity is listed for. Drool.

  2. “What $2.7 Million Gets You in Kingston”

    Puts Brooklyn brownstone bailout [ahem!], I mean, asking prices in perspective. It’s Kingston but look what you get. The Brooklyn brownstone housing bubble will end very “badly”.

  3. Dave, what a sweet little casita.
    Really typical of the older city houses found all over Latin America, with that long side yard opening up to the back. And of course the tile floors keep the rooms nice and cool. Sigh. Are there direct flight to Merida? It’s pretty far from Mexico City, although it is very close to Havana.
