阿尔斯特学院阁楼 | 重新想象的学校

在金斯顿历史核心的心脏地带，有一个罕见的 offering：阿尔斯特学院阁楼中的一套明亮、宽敞的阁楼——一座经过精心再想象的1800年代学校，变成了现代 inspirado 的生活空间。在曾经的学生学习区高耸的天花板下，如今阳光透过高耸的窗户洒入，照亮了一个兼具建筑特色与日常舒适的家。

该单元位于三楼，具有安静的独特性：上方没有单元并且拥有一个天窗，让阳光和星星洒入。仅距（稀少）共享的户外露台几步之遥——这里有烤架、伞、植物和美景——你会发现自己身处建筑中最受追捧的位置之一。从技术上来说，这是一个一间卧室的单元，但宽敞的房间位于建筑原始钟楼下，正对餐厅，提供了无可否认的灵活性：办公室、客房、书房或创意工作室。在那个房间里，建筑给你一个标志性的特色——一个圆形玻璃窗，框住金斯顿的屋顶和树冠，犹如一幅生动的画作，随季节变换而变化。

301号单元拥有最受欢迎的布局之一。该平面图创造了开放的空间，主卧室与客厅通过一个宜人的走廊理想分隔，走廊上装饰着艺术家的金属画廊墙。

内部细节逐渐展开：
— 全部为枫木地板
— 燃气壁炉，为温馨的夜晚增添氛围
— 天花板高约12英尺
— 巨大的窗户从各个方向引入光线
— 裸砖墙和内置书架墙
— 步入式衣橱加上丰富的储藏空间
— 单元内洗衣设施
— 两个浴室
— 中央空调、智能温控器、对讲系统

厨房和浴室无缝融入住宅的阁楼美学——干净的线条被木材和光线温暖。与住宅一起转让的是建筑中非常有限的储物单元之一。

超越单元本身，阿尔斯特学院阁楼周到地向它们的过去致敬：黑板、磨砂玻璃学校灯、让人回忆起久远课桌的木地板。为居民和客人提供的私人停车场增加了便利性，建筑的物业协会负责场地维护。建筑的电梯和前方坡道提供了更加友好的通道。然而，许多无形的东西会留存：宁静、光线、灵感，以及与金斯顿的荣道特商店、餐厅和滨水区的便利接近。

这是一个罕见、充满灵性的空间，建筑几乎不会向外界开放——等待它的下一章开始。

Ulster Academy Lofts | A Schoolhouse Reimagined

In the heart of Kingston’s historic core sits a rare offering: a bright, expansive loft in the Ulster Academy Lofts—an 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 patio—a perch with grill, umbrella, plantings, and views—you’ll find yourself in one of the building’s most coveted spots. It’s technically a one-bedroom, but the generously sized room tucked under the building’s 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 feature—a circular glass window framing Kingston’s 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 home’s loft aesthetic—clean 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 it’s the intangible things that linger: quiet, light, inspiration, and an easy proximity to Kingston’s Rondout shops, restaurants, and waterfront.

A rare, soulful space in a building that rarely becomes available—waiting for its next chapter to begin. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
