Kingston homes

Step inside this Kingston home and find hidden doors, original keys, and a butler’s pantry

If walls could talk, High Gables would have a lot to say—most of it in perfectly preserved 19th-century charm. This heritage-designated Kingston stunner, once home to the esteemed Dr. Burr, has been lovingly maintained for over 30 years, and it still knows how to impress.

With built-in cabinets, hidden pocket doors, original trim, and door knobs with their original keys (because losing them would have been too modern), this three-bedroom, three-bathroom masterpiece is dripping with character. The grand dining room is perfect for dinner parties—whether you’re entertaining friends or hosting an impromptu séance to chat with former residents.

An addition from the 1950s blends in so seamlessly it deserves an award, bringing a sunlit family room with custom built-ins, radiant in-floor heating, and the kind of butler’s pantry that makes you feel fancier just walking past it. Plus, there’s an attached garage and a driveway that fits multiple cars—an urban luxury that’s rarer than an empty downtown parking spot.

Want to own a piece of Kingston’s history without living in a museum? Call now before someone else claims the keys (yes, the original ones).
