Some houses hold history. This one is history. Built circa 1773, the Jacob Ten Broeck House at 169 Albany Avenue is one of Kingston’s most significant surviving Federal residences — a two-story limestone landmark listed on both the Local and National Registers of Historic Places since 2002. Scholars have called it one of the rare high-style Federal homes in the city. The current owner has been its steward for 35 years. That kind of tenure tells you everything. Inside: five fireplaces — four wood, one coal — four to five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and rooms that carry the weight and warmth of 250 years of Hudson Valley life. The standing seam metal roof and attic spray foam insulation are the investments of someone who plays the long game. Then step outside. Over nine acres — one of the few properties within Kingston city limits with this kind of acreage — featuring a spring-fed pond and a timber frame cabin. Livestock and animals are welcome here, a genuinely rare privilege inside a city. This is not a city lot with a nice yard. This is a genuine compound hidden inside Kingston’s most storied address. Broadway’s restaurants, galleries, and Kingston’s creative energy are minutes away. The city is investing here too — new bluestone sidewalks are on the way. But once you’re through the gate, none of that hubbub follows you in as you step back in time. The house has been well published in interior design books, historic chronicles, local magazines, and regional publications — recognized not as a curiosity, but as a standard-bearer. Properties like this don’t cycle back. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the Hudson Valley’s most historically significant homes — with the land and legacy to match.
