102 Clifton Ave

102 Clifton Ave is the kind of Kingston property people are always hoping will hit the market. An adorable up and down two family with warmth, character, and a lived in ease that feels increasingly hard to find. Over the past two years, the current owner has thoughtfully refreshed and cared for the property, creating inviting spaces that feel both comfortable and functional. Each apartment offers one bedroom and one bath, along with bright sunny living rooms, original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and the proportions you only find in early 1900s homes. Much of the original architecture remains intact, including the handsome main staircase, oversized double doors, and stained glass transom that immediately set the tone upon entry. The covered front porch is the kind of space that naturally becomes part of your daily routine, perfect for morning coffee or welcoming friends and neighbors stopping by. The first floor apartment also features a rear deck that lends itself beautifully to summer barbecues and dining alfresco. Out back, the yard offers plenty of opportunity for the next owner to shape it into something special, whether that's gardens, outdoor gathering space, a garage, or potentially an accessory dwelling space, subject to city approvals and zoning. The location is one of those quiet pockets that longtime Kingston locals appreciate because it feels tucked away while still being moments from everything. In less than a minute, you're down by the Rondout waterfront with restaurants, parks, shopping, and the constant rhythm of boats and kayakers moving along the creek. Nearby favorites include Sorry Charlie, The Meat Wagon, Village Grocery & Refillery, Red Owl Collective, Fantzye Bagels, Hutton Brickyards, and miles of nearby rail trails and bike paths. A property with soul, flexibility, and a neighborhood feel that's becoming harder and harder to find.
