Ulster Academy Lofts | A Schoolhouse Reimagined In the heart of Kingstons historic core sits a rare offering: a bright, expansive loft in the Ulster Academy Loftsan 1800s schoolhouse thoughtfully reimagined into modern, inspired living spaces. Where students once studied beneath soaring ceilings, now light streams through towering windows, illuminating a home that balances architectural character with everyday comfort. Located on the third floor, this particular unit holds quiet distinction: no units above and a skylight to bring in the sun and stars. Just several feet from the (rarely) shared outdoor patioa perch with grill, umbrella, plantings, and viewsyoull find yourself in one of the buildings most coveted spots. Its technically a one-bedroom, but the generously sized room tucked under the buildings original belfry, just off the dining area, offers undeniable flexibility: office, guest room, den, or creative studio. And in that room, the building gives you a signature featurea circular glass window framing Kingstons rooftops and treetops like a living painting, changing with the seasons. Unit 301 has one of the most desired layouts. The floorplan creates open spaces, with ideal separation of the master bedroom from the living room through an inviting hallway, replete with an artist's metallic gallery wall. Inside, details unfold: Maple hardwood flooring throughout Gas fireplace for cozy evenings Ceilings ~12 feet high Enormous windows bringing in light from every direction Exposed brick and a built in wall of bookshelves Walk-in closet plus abundant storage In-unit laundry Two bathrooms Central A/C, smart thermostats, intercom system The kitchen and baths integrate seamlessly with the homes loft aestheticclean lines warmed by wood and light. Conveyed with the residence is one of the building's very limited storage units. Beyond the unit itself, the Ulster Academy Lofts nod thoughtfully to their past: chalkboards, milk glass schoolhouse lights, wood floors reminiscent of long-ago desks. The private parking lot for residents and guests adds ease and convenience as does the building's property association that handles grounds maintenance. The building's elevator and front ramp add more welcoming access. Yet its the intangible things that linger: quiet, light, inspiration, and an easy proximity to Kingstons Rondout shops, restaurants, and waterfront. A rare, soulful space in a building that rarely becomes availablewaiting for its next chapter to begin.
