Description
The John Kinkel House | Circa 1872 Available publicly for the first time in more than 51 years, The John Kinkel House is a rare opportunity to steward one of Bedford Village's most historically significant and architecturally distinctive residences. Built circa 1872 and prominently situated within the Bedford Village Historic District, the home is a handsome example of Victorian Second Empire architecture, distinguished by its mansard roof, arched dormers, decorative brackets, molded cornices, and elegant proportions. Set beneath a canopy of mature specimen trees, the residence retains a remarkable collection of original details, including wide-plank floors, period millwork, graceful bay windows, and beautifully scaled rooms illuminated by natural light throughout the day. Generations of thoughtful stewardship have preserved the home's authenticity, warmth, and enduring sense of place, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and deeply connected to Bedford's past. The property's provenance is equally compelling. John Adams Kinkel, known locally as "Mr. Bedford," served the town for nearly seven decades as constable, highway superintendent, park commissioner, and the first chief of the Bedford Fire Department. Later, the home was occupied by acclaimed novelist Sloan Wilson, author of The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit. Beyond the main residence stands an extraordinary detached artist's studio-an increasingly rare amenity and a defining feature of the property. Bathed in natural light and framed by soaring ceilings, exposed timber structure, and a dramatic lofted workspace, the studio offers an inspiring environment for artists, designers, architects, writers, and creative pursuits of every kind. Moments from the Bedford Village Green yet feeling worlds apart, The John Kinkel House is more than a residence-it is a piece of Bedford's architectural and cultural legacy. A property of exceptional character, provenance, and rarity, offered publicly for the first time in over half a century.
