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.

It’s still a million dollar house in Kingston!
You’re right, that PA house would make an incredible retirement home…hell, it actually looks like one. LOL
I heard the caretaker will be Hunt Slonem.
No comments on the fact that “Caretaker’s House complete with an exceptional caretaker”???
…you rang?
uh huh..I know where my stimulus check is going.
with 5% fixed/ 30 yr, this little property should work out just fine…
No particular reason for picking the PPS house other than it looks a similar style, size and condition to the PA one.
Sure, the PA one would not be commutable but on the other hand, $1.8m difference means you can make an awful lot less and be just as comfortable.
Alternatively, if you had $2.2m to plunk down on PPS, you could buy PA and with the difference live off the interest (okay, maybe not right now) for the rest of your days.
They’re creepy and they’re kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They’re all together ooky,
The Addams Family.
Their house is a museum
Where people come to see ’em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.
(Neat)
(Sweet)
(Petite)
So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We’re gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family.
ditto….but I’m sure there’s a large local contingent of Mexicans who are skilled plasterers and bricklayers!!!!
But this place would cost way more than current psf construction costs to duplicate.
