Welcome to The Besimer House (circa 1795). This rare find is a perfect blend of historic charm and modernism just 5 minutes from uptown Kingston. As part of the Hurley Historic District, the Historic Society traces the original one-room Dutch stone house back to 1795, with additions in the 1850s and a primary bedroom added in 2004. This sprawling 2,735 sq. ft house has been thoughtfully expanded, while maintaining its original character. Preserved details include original wide plank floors, hand-hewn exposed beams, detailed moldings and two beautiful fireplaces. The modern large primary bedroom on the main floor has a split a/c system and a newly renovated en-suite bathroom on that features radiant heat flooring. For convenience, the finished walk-in closet has a compact high-end washer/dryer tucked away with a full set in the basement. Also on the first floor is an office that can also be a fourth bedroom. The kitchen and all bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with high-end finishes and fixtures such as a Miele dishwasher and Kohler farm sink. Upstairs are two large bedrooms with several big closets – a rare find for a historic home. There is also a newly renovated, tastefully done second floor full bath. A bonus is the lovely reading nook with the original exposed stone wall and beams, a perfect place to decompress and read a book. The house has a new privacy fence with a blue stone patio and stunning, mature perennial gardens that bloom from early spring until late fall, making this ideal for outdoor entertaining and letting the kids and/or dogs. run free. Besimer House is part of the Old Hurley Historic District with one of the oldest known collections of Dutch stone houses in the country. Minutes from uptown Kingston, walkable to the Hurley Rail Trail for walking and biking and less than 15 minutes to Stone Ridge and Rhinebeck. You couldn’t ask for a better location! The interior/exterior were recently painted and designed (MVN Design, Kingston). This house has been well maintained and is move-in ready. Every detail has been lovingly addressed with great care and reverence to the house’s historical past.
