764 Lapla Road, Kingston

764 Lapla Road is the rare renovation where the craftsmanship is immediately apparent, but the experience of living here is what stays with you. Nearly 3,000 square feet unfold beneath warm pine beams milled from the property, with walls of black-framed Marvin windows bringing the gardens into virtually every room. Stone, wood, marble, brass and softly textured tile give the interiors a sense of permanence, while the open, light-filled plan feels remarkably easy and inviting.

At the center of the house, the living room is anchored by an extraordinary stone fireplace, creating a natural gathering place that feels equally right on a winter evening or with the doors open to the gardens in summer. From here, the house flows into a generous dining area and a kitchen designed for people who genuinely enjoy cooking and entertaining. Custom inset cabinetry, unlacquered brass hardware, a cherry butcher-block island, apron-front sink, integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigeration and an AGA Mercury induction range are paired with beautifully considered details including a custom stucco hood, pot filler and under-cabinet lighting.

Throughout the main living spaces, birch floors and exposed beams add warmth, while expansive windows repeatedly pull your attention outside. The gardens become part of the architecture, framing views of flowers, foliage and changing seasons from the living areas, bedrooms and baths.

The primary suite feels especially private, surrounded by windows and garden views. Its bath has the atmosphere of a small retreat, with a six-foot pedestal soaking tub positioned beneath the windows, marble, tumbled stone, a custom double vanity, rain shower and warm brass fixtures. Two additional baths continue the same material language with custom vanities, marble and quartzite surfaces, tiled showers and thoughtful details.

Outside, the house lives just as comfortably. A deep covered porch becomes an outdoor sitting room, surrounded by established plantings and connected to a series of bluestone and herringbone-brick patios and garden paths. There are places for morning coffee, long dinners, reading in the shade or simply watching the gardens change through the season. The indoor and outdoor spaces feel inseparable.

Behind the beauty is a renovation that addressed the house comprehensively, including Marvin Elevate windows and doors, Mitsubishi heating and cooling, radiant heat in select rooms, significant insulation and foundation improvements, new electrical and plumbing infrastructure, footing drains and a 2024 GAF Timberline roof.

764 Lapla Road feels less like a house that has been remodeled and more like one that has been carefully resolved. Warm, tactile and deeply connected to its surroundings, it offers the character of a stone Hudson Valley home with the comfort and craftsmanship of a thoughtful modern renovation.
