This handcrafted Austrian chalet in Kingston is giving “cozy cabin meets custom castle” and we’re obsessed
If you’ve ever dreamed of sipping hot cocoa in an Austrian chalet — but your passport says “nah” — this one-of-a-kind Kingston home might just be your Alpine dream come true. Hand-built by a master cabinet maker (yes, really), this place is less “cookie-cutter” and more “work of art you can live in.”
Welcome to your warm, woodsy fantasy: soaring coffered wood ceilings, custom millwork in every direction, and a stunning herringbone inlay that practically whispers “please take your shoes off, I’m art.”
Currently set up as a one-bedroom grand suite, this layout was originally a two-bedroom and can easily flex back with a little drywall and ambition. The formal dining room has a sneaky side door that makes turning it into another bedroom a breeze. Need more space? Head downstairs to a fully finished lower level that includes two freshly minted bedrooms, a rec room, a 2-piece bath, and a laundry/craft area where your Pinterest board can finally come to life.
The living room is peak charm, with built-in bookcases for your Tolkien collection and a cozy vibe that makes you want to cancel plans. The kitchen has major character and leads to a covered side porch — ideal for sipping something warm or spying on squirrels.
Outside? Oh, we’re just getting started. There’s a stucco-over-brick exterior, a massive covered porch, detached garage with insulated workshop and subpanel, potting shed, paved driveway, and enough updates to make your spreadsheet smile:
All new windows and entry doors (2024)
Attic insulation, gutters, and eaves (also 2024)
Steel roof (2013), high-efficiency gas furnace (2011), hot water on demand, A/C (2021)
Sump pump (2022), kitchen appliances (2021–2022)
This place has been loved, lived in, and lovingly upgraded over the years — no quick flips here.
So if you’re a big fan of craftsmanship, comfort, and homes with actual personality, this rare gem might just steal your heart (and your Pinterest password). Don’t sleep on it — the chalet life is calling.
