What $2.7 Million Gets You in Kingston

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.

No mention in the listing of Central A/C.
Fedders under the windows.
I’m in love. The carriage house is so beautiful I’m about to cry.
Park Slope North! Very funny, Biff.
Now we’re talking, here! Love it. I’d use the whole thing as a B&B, and renovate the carriage house to live in. Rent it out to wedding parties, photo shoots, conferences, etc. I’d have fun furnishing and decorating it, too. Would need staff, too. That’s a lot of upkeep.
Make money and live on the grounds in comfortable smallness. That’s having your cake and eating it too.
Megamillions is what? like 120 mill? You get around half? That would do it. Please keep in touch and email me at gotbux dot com.
Or any of these near me in Carversville, PA….

Tough to find comps 🙂
But I hear it’s near the PJ’s
there may be no frontage Benton – but I bet there is frotage.
So – what are the taxes and how much to heat?
I think place operates as B&B somewhat now if just want to stay the weekend.
Biff, I think it is part of “Park Slope Farms”.
Very exclusive.
OH
MY
GOD

Stunning. I love all the paint colors and that it looks slightly worn as well. Man oh man the upkeep would be insanity. If I had the funds I’d do it in a second.
Anyone wanna go in with me?
We could make it the Brownstoner timeshare???
Is there a food coop within walking distance? And, what are their politics?
