Property Description
Tucked into the budding Midtown Arts District on tree-lined Downs Street, Skellylope Manor pairs Victorian gravitas with genuine pizzazz. Mature trees and perennial gardens wrap the home in its own quiet oasis -- a rare pocket of solitude two minutes from everything.
Climb the short flight to the majestic covered porch and step inside to a grand living room, where original pocket doors let you open the space wide for a party or close it off for a quiet night in. Oversized windows flood every room with light. A separate dining room connects to an updated, entertaining-ready kitchen -- a genuine cook's haven.
Upstairs, a dramatic Victorian stairwell leads to a wide corridor and three generous bedrooms, plus a full bath with a clawfoot tub for well-earned end-of-day soaking. Climb once more and the attic opens into a vaulted, unfinished expanse with serious storage -- or serious potential, if you've got a creative streak of your own.
Outside, a separate garage fits two cars, with a second deeded right-of-way driveway around the corner and even more storage overhead. Bring the boat, the kayaks, the pottery wheel -- there's room.
All told, it's a rare mix of original character and easy, laid-back living -- steps from Boices Ice Cream, Midtown's galleries, restaurants, and shops.
Skellylope Manor has kept Kingston's stories for over a century. Yours could be next.
