Kingston ON Home for Sale

Stylish finishings and very recent modern updates complete this fantastic 2 story semi-detached home in one of Kingstons finest neighbourhoods. With wonderful schools and parks close by, just a few minutes stroll from the back garden gate, there is a true sense here of family and community. With over 1500 square feet of well finished living space, the entire home has just been painted a warm and contemporary white, with newly added matte black hardware and led lights throughout. The main floor plan is open and interconnected, with large east and west facing windows, allowing light to flow naturally through the living room, dining area, and kitchen with its brand-new stainless-steel refrigerator and modern breakfast bar. Upstairs there are 3 very good-sized bedrooms and a 4-piece bathroom that was completely renovated just 3 years ago. The lower level offers an additional large family room, 3-piece bathroom with laundry area and a 4th bedroom space. The lot depth is rare today at 130 feet, with wonderful perennials, adding both natural beauty and privacy to the massive rear garden. The list of improvements is extensive and the opportunity exceptional. 789 Grouse is truly a house with nothing left to do but move in and call home.

A charming and spacious bungalow in the desirable and conveniently located city central neighbourhood of Sunnyside, walking distance to parks, shopping, Queens University, and the downtown core. 226 Westdale Avenue is a classic slab on grade 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, perfectly situated back from the road on a large and private mature treed lot. Just shy of 1400 square feet, the entire home has been freshly painted Benjamin Moores Dove White including the kitchen cabinetry adding a contemporary feel to this warm and comfortable space.

A large deck off the back of the house leads to the spacious and deep yard with ample room for entertaining and gardening with an additional storage shed for all your summer tools, patio furniture or bikes. A single car garage adds additional privacy to the garden space along with a multitude of possibilities for future potential conversion. A wonderful opportunity to invest in one of Kingstons most sought-after neighbourhoods.

A true 4-bedroom family home, on one of the prettiest streets in wonderful Bayridge East, 938 Pembridge Crescent has seen a very recent and timeless update throughout leaving nothing left to do but move in and enjoy. Built in 1975, the property had been home to one family for over 40 years, before being passed on and lovingly renewed by its current owner, well prepared for its next chapter in life. The main floor plan is classic, with a warm and welcoming flow, and has been updated with all new Clera windows, doors, beautiful rich engineered hardwood flooring, and a newly modified kitchen including appliances, new countertop, modern breakfast bar and added pot lights. An open and spacious entryway, living room, dining room and 2-piece bath off the side entrance, leading to the convenient carport and rear garden, complete the main living space. The second floor, with its 4 good sized bedrooms and full bathroom, has further been updated with all new windows and has been freshly painted, the original parquet flooring left in place with both its classic beauty and modern style and appeal. The basement has remained unfinished, 1500 square feet of living space is a luxurious amount of room for any family; but the ceiling is high and the space open and brightly lit, making it perfect in its current form for perhaps a workshop, or just a new future wide open to interpret and explore. The yard is wide and deep, 55 x 120 feet, with trees and shrubs that have had time to mature and provide comfort. It is a beautiful home, close to wonderful schools and parks, west end shops and restaurants, and will most certainly provide a lifetime of comfort and happiness for its next new owner.

300 Sydenham Street is without question a wonderful and elegant home, just moments from the heart of downtown Kingston and steps to lovely McBurney Park. With views of the Cataraqui River just down the hill, it is a grand and historical picture of old Inner Harbour, a home that has further been refined throughout to showcase its warmth, elegance, and roots. Featuring an open concept dining and living area with 9 foot ceilings and gas fireplace, 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, (one ensuite) classic and quality marble floor tile and original hardwood floors, the home has wisely chosen finishes throughout. The owners have restored the original stairs and bannister and updated the walls, ceilings and lighting, adding both modern and classic finishes, while keeping in mind the original character and heart of this beautiful property. Theres parking for 2 or perhaps 3 small vehicles, and an area out back of the home to create a garden oasis or modern downtown patio for friends and family to dine, play and entertain. Its a truly lovely home that has been meticulously updated and cared for, and it is an absolute pleasure to introduce.

No one is ever going to use the word elegant to describe me, and so perhaps if I want to be attached to such a descriptor I should buy the rather special semi-detached home that is 300 Sydenham St for myself. It might solve all my problems. Just a single, exhilarated breath from McBurney Park and with views of the Cataraqui River at the bottom of the hill, it is a fine example of Inner Harbour excellence. With open concept dining and living room and 9 foot ceilings, along with a gas fireplace, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, (one ensuite) quality marble floor tile and original hardwood floors, there is the sense, amid this marvellous blend of the historical and the bracingly modern, that Emily Dickinson might appear any minute on the lovingly restored original staircase, pen in hand. Other rewrites include the walls, ceilings and lighting. There is parking for at least two carriages lined up around back, and surely room enough left over for a small greenhouse or patio.

131 King E was fashioned in the Georgian style from local limestone in 1842 by William Coverdale. Today it houses a set of unique and desirable condominiums just a block from Lake Ontario and City Park. On the far side of the park is the university campus. Same distance in the other direction is Kingstons downtown core. Unit 8 is spread elegantly over four floors. At its heart (on the second level) is a ballroom well-disguised as a living room, with towering ceilings and windows, a suite of built-in bookcases. Off to one side, the custom kitchen, with its quartz counters and stainless appliances, feels to have perfected the form, and the balcony off the southern face is where you head with breakfast. There is a bedroom a few steps down from this level, as well as on each of the two floors above. The principal bedroom, in fact, with its ensuite bathroom and its walk-in, involves an intensely modern staircase from a lower level staging area. It is where you dress for the ball, perhaps. Exposed limestone and brick pops up regularly. There is a stained glass transom window and two decorative fireplaces. The sense throughout the nearly 2400 square feet is of history accommodating you, and enhancing the experience of living at the very centre of things, rather than simply imposing itself. Parking, of course, is right at the door.

136 Ordnance St is a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath semi-detached brick century home a half-block from McBurney Park. Its been painted a rich cream, and comes across in mornings haze as slightly soft-edged, almost as if packed with goose down. At the same time it feels rigorously built, something whipped up in an advanced geometry class, a composition of perfect rectangles and ninety-degree angles. How tall can we make this box, how distant the back wall? The stylish wood stove set in the front room means that you can rest, whenever you want, in a mountaintop ski chalet. Further back, in the kitchen, there are far-off tin ceilings, dovetailed solid cabinets, and black concrete counters, as if a hundredweight of liquorice had been pressed into oil- and knife-resistant slabs. Theres the Miele gas stove lifted from a Michelin star restaurant and yet also so sleek it must be something that hasnt quite been invented yet. The elevated deck and the secluded stone patio offer a supercut of Downtown Urban. There are two bedrooms upstairs, but the landing is an office, an art space, there is more than enough real estate there that a third bedroom could be built over a long weekend. There is a walk-in closet and second-floor laundry, a clawfoot tub in the main bathroom that feels distinctly film-set. It makes you want to laugh, it really does, in that astonished sort of way you might laugh when your lottery numbers come up.

A solid, detached bungalow just a couple of blocks north of Regiopolis Notre Dame High School. Two bedrooms on the main floor (with potential for a third), and a high-ceilinged semi-finished basement with a separate side entrance, as well as a rec room, bedroom, and laundry. The high-efficiency gas furnace was replaced, along with the AC, in 2014, and the roof was reshingled in 2019. There is a large deck off the rear of the house. It would make for a good family home convenient to the downtown core, or a very smart investment property. Plenty of mid-century character remains intact, along with oak floors in the living and dining rooms, and it is priced so that you can spend enough on it to make the whole place shine again, sort of like a disco ball, if a disco ball was rectangular and studded with windows that opened to the inside.

Today it houses a set of unique and desirable condominiums just a block from Lake Ontario and City Park. On the far side of the park is the university campus. Same distance in the other direction is Kingstons downtown core. Unit 8 is spread elegantly over four floors. At its heart (on the second level) is a ballroom, I swear, though well-disguised these days as a living room, with towering ceilings and windows, a suite of built-in bookcases. I have seen less impressive libraries. Off to one side, the custom kitchen, with its quartz counters and stainless appliances, feels to have perfected the form, and a balcony tucked away at the southern limit of the space is surely where you hide from your chores. There is a bedroom a few steps down from this level, as well as on both of the two floors above. The principal bedroom, in fact, with its ensuite bathroom and its walk-in, involves an intensely modern staircase from a lower level staging area. It is where you dress for the ball, perhaps, or sit in private and write a novel. Exposed limestone and brick pops up regularly. There is a stained glass transom window and two decorative fireplaces.

144 Churchill Crescent is a lovely raised bungalow in red-brick with an attached garage and one of the largest lots on this most desirable of streets. The living room extends across the back of the house to take full advantage of the views and the mature trees, the lawns headed for the western horizon, the interlock wrapped around the house like a ribbon. There are three bedrooms on the main floor, as well as a well-renovated bathroom. The basement, which sits high out of the ground and is well-lit as a result, is fully finished and also provides direct access to the garage. Its a lovely family home, spacious and elegant, a classic of sorts, but there are those who will consider building up, I suspect, as the neighbour has done with an identical property, to create a majestic two-storey home.

Kingston ON Home for Sale

A character-filled and very spacious residential triplex (seven bedrooms in total) housed in a glorious red-brick building at the edge of the fruit belt and just east of Division on York St. Walk downtown from here, or over to the university. The main floor, and part of the basement, is taken up by a large and very pretty four-bedroom apartment thats just been professionally painted and extensively smartened up. Its vacant and ready to go. The ceilings are far-off and the rooms are large. Up above is a bright two-bedroom unit that the sellers lived in for a while. There is subway tile and there are stainless appliances and quartz counters. The Ikea cabinets are the colour of storm clouds. The one-bedroom basement unit has been painted white throughout (except for a splash of pink tile in the bathroom) and is utterly charming. There is a high-capacity on-demand boiler keeping everything warm, along with very recent windows, interior doors, insulation, etc, along with plenty of rentable parking, a carport, a sweet garden, and even a garage for you to rent out or use as a staging area for all your landlord gear. Its an unusually good offering with very reasonable income projections pushing the Cap Rate comfortably over 7%.

We look at the photographs of this brilliant three-bedroom Hillendale bungalow with its high-out-of-the-ground two-bedroom in-law suite and think, Yeah, those work, thats exactly what were selling here. Theres none of the usual maddening exaggeration, it really is this good, this bright, this desirable. The kitchen has been completely reworked in the last couple of years and is the open-plan hub around which the house flows. The quartz-topped island is large enough that it might show up on the better maps, and the materials throughout feel carefully chosen, not slapdash. The bedrooms are tucked away at the other end of the house, where its always quiet, and out behind the house is a glammy sort of deck and a garden big enough for team sports. Finally, hidden deep inside the unassuming garage, there is an insulated hideaway/studio/mountaintop cave fit for the rock star in you. Its almost enough to keep you out of the house itself. The yard has had lots of recent landscaping including a new firepit. The yard is very private in the Summer months.

Ive known for a few months that this sweet little house was going to be sold this season, and almost every day Ive wanted to haul my beaten-up soapbox to the exact centre of one of the many neighbourhood parks and yell out the address through my battered aluminum megaphone, throw open the doors and hand out welcome baskets. I can be impatient. 344 Mack St is a move-in-ready three-bedroom (two up), two-bathroom detached bungalow with a professionally finished basement, two gas stoves and an open plan main floor. But more than that, its a sweet, utterly charming house. Everything just seems right - the rooms are the right size, the windows are in the right place to illuminate your lives. You put a vase of lilies on the kitchen counter, as I did, and the light falls right on their face, as if to endorse them, elevate them, make them the best darn lilies they can be. The two main level bedrooms are tucked away at the back of the house. The third is down below, where its a little cooler in the summer, and a little darker too. Theres a fabulous rec room and another bathroom too, as well as a second gas fireplace. You could put a kitchen in this professionally finished space - back where the laundry is makes most sense - and youd have a very nifty in-law suite.

108 Raglan Road is one of my very favourites. A four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached red-brick home with good parking, just down the slope from McBurneys northern edge. A house that sits high above the street so as to pull in just a bit more sunlight than is standard. There is a very private courtyard out back that's rich with April birdsong, along with a splash of lawn where Im told you sit and drink gin. Among the many highlights for me are: the front porch high above the street with its tiled floor, like the observation deck at some art deco skyscraper; the white walls and toffee floors; the splendid kitchen with its Thor stove and its quartz counters so cool to the touch, as if milk had been poured into a mould; the skylights upstairs, dropping all that light onto books. I'm also really taken by the way the fourth bedroom is hidden away at the back of the house rather than on the second floor. Install a kitchen in the basement below it and youve made something distinctly European, a separate two-storey suite like something that might open onto Hyde Park.

If you stuck a pin into the heart of Strathcona Park its likely youd land somewhere right around 17 Westmoreland Road, or in the playing fields behind the house. Its a bungalow, one of those with the garage tucked in underneath and direct entry into the lower level (which is no afterthought here, it must be said, with its big, splashy rec room and fourth bedroom, a custom laundry, three-piece bathroom, and mud room). If you get home tired, and come inside this way, theres really very little need to head upstairs. Our guess, though, is youll make that Herculean effort because the reward is just so darned handsome. The house has been professionally renovated from top to bottom in the last half dozen years, with a bright open plan, quartz counters, subway tile, a gas fireplace, heated floors in the main bathroom, modern lighting, and engineered hardwood floors. The fresh shingles (May) and furnace (2021) mean there really is nothing left to do, except perhaps retreat to the private, exquisitely landscaped grounds. The effect outside is stately. Where I grew up I saw more modest houses with iron fences wrapped around them and herds of domesticated deer being fed by children on day trips. This is not like that, but its close.

Battersea ON Land for Sale

Seventy-three really beautiful acres a relaxed twenty-minute drive north of Kingston and just five south of Battersea and Loughborough Lake. A severance isnt possible here, but all that means is you get to keep it all to yourself. Its a glorious quilt of level fields, along with deciduous forest and splendid wetland, with a drilled well in place and a fine choice of building sites. If your intention is to farm, its the 25 or so prepped acres that will grab your attention. But there are several ways to approach the property. The wetlands along the back will call to the duck hunters or frog fiends among you, and youll wander trails between pretty slopes thick with mature sugar maples to get there. Some of these have already been tapped. I really could see you selling tickets just to visit. It's a world-class location for your dream home, or hobby farm, your getaway from the ordinary.

Kingston ON Home for Sale

A modern classic, in Kingstons beautiful west end neighbourhood of Bayridge. 907 Pembridge has been meticulously maintained and had endless thoughtfully designed updates within the last 4 years. A classic 4 level side-split, the house offers over 2000 sq. feet of stylishly finished living space, with a stunning and recently reworked main living area, creating an open modern flow designed perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. Featuring a custom kitchen by Hawthorne Kitchens, with its quartz counters, extended island, white oak flooring and Aaben windows, it is the centre of daily living. 3 good sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an ensuite 2 piece, complete this level, all having seen recent and contemporary finishes. A further reading room, with its newly built-in bookshelves either side of the fireplace sits just a few steps down and away from the main living area leading to the back patio and lovely mature yard with its tall trees and garden space. As you explore further, the lower level offers a bright and airy additional family room, with direct access to the outdoors, an additional bedroom or office space, 3-piece bathroom, and laundry room. With a 5th room in the basement, with its high ceiling and bright window, the entire lower level feels like a whole other world, perhaps a place for the teenagers, or guests to come for extended stays, or a wonderful in-law suite. A truly beautiful home, and an absolute pleasure to introduce

A fabulous one-bedroom condominium in the modern and stylish Anna Lane Building situated at the corner of Bagot and Queen Streets in Kingstons vibrant downtown core. Previously featured in Kingston Life Magazine, this suite offers an additional den, spacious and open concept living dining and kitchen area, in suite laundry, and one of the rare and largest patios in the building. Additionally, a deeded storage locker and 2 parking spaces come with this wonderful unit. This well-maintained building features a shared landscaped terrace and BBQ area, modern and spacious entertainment space, a guest suite, and underground parking. Its luxurious and modern living at its finest, in the heart of the city, just minutes walking distance to dining, shopping, parks, entertainment, and Queens University.

The slab-on-grade bungalows along the upper reaches of Westdale Avenue remind me of houseboats, a series of low-slung and rather serene barges moored alongside the road, as if the road is a darkened river and well I can tell Ive lost most of you already. The point is theyre interesting places, and thats more than can be said for many houses (and what an awful thing that is for a real estate agent to say out loud). There is a distinct mid-century feel to 226 - all those just-right spaces connected in ways that maximize the square footage and collect light as hungrily as a pitcher plant traps lunch. There are three bedrooms along the southernmost wall, and the primary bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. The kitchen has a really nice window out to the garden, and theres a deck back there too (of course it reminds me of a dock, or a diving board, something on which to work on a tan, or fine-tune the half-gainers). The detached garage is about twenty by fifteen and theres room for a bench along the windowed side, even with your car tucked out of the elements. The property is presently tenanted (thats why there are no inside pictures) but beyond 60 days, closing is flexible.

66 Cherry St is a delightful two-bedroom detached house in the Fruit Belt downtown. It has a main-floor office that could be a third bedroom, and has been completely and tastefully renovated with pale hardwoods and stone counters atop the cabinets in the awesome galley kitchen. It has two new bathrooms and a private garden and a proper detached garage. It is the colour you imagine a summer sky to be, and its the house you were hoping might be out there for under 500K but then your partner said you had your head in the clouds again, and to get real, why dont you? Which got you wondering whether you wanted to live together after all and perhaps a place just for you made more sense and then along comes 66 Cherry and it all starts to feel like a really solid plan.

Kingston ON Home for Sale

A very good property comprised of two two-bedroom units at the intersection of First and Kingscourt. That puts you just a block from the Memorial Centre grounds with its dog park and splash pad, its Sunday market and its yoga crowd. Head north and youll end up at the new high school. Its an area popular with young families, drawn by more affordable homes that arent too crowded together. 70 First Avenue is a little younger than many of its wartime neighbours as well (it was built in 1957) and with its sleek profile and its metal roof, it's a bit of a standout. Both apartments are stylish and bright and the upper unit has a third room that seems cheeky to call a bedroom, but makes good sense as a nursery or an office. Its also important to note that the lower unit sits nice and high out of the ground; theres nothing subterranean about the vibe here. On-site laundry hook-up is in a common area, and the parking is plentiful. Theres even a good garden off to one side that reminds me of the nearby vegetable allotments, a spot, maybe, to grow your own dinner. The renovations are fresh and 70 First Avenue is ready for you and/or your tenants.

I must at some point have described this house (because this isnt the first time weve listed this adorable spot) as being as sweet as a liquorice all-sort. I mean, just look at it. But I cant find that description this morning. So either I am becoming forgetful, or I am beginning to invent my own history. One feels cleverer than the other. Whichever it is, its a delight to serve up 66 Cherry St again, which has been properly and stylishly renovated since the last time. It is a cottage reimagined, a two-bedroom house with refinished floors the colour of toffee, and stone counters like the vanilla ice cream you can buy with the flecks of vanilla bean ground into it. There is a full bathroom on each level and an office on the main floor that could serve as a third bedroom. A gas fireplace in the living room, and laundry tucked away towards the back. The layout feels a miracle of thoughtful design, like a Swiss Army knife rewritten as a floor plan. You could sit out back in the private yard and try to figure out its magic on the back of a napkin, maybe, play-act a dinner theatre version of Einstein, or set up a complicated lab in the detached garage and try to unravel exactly how its still possible to list this much charming real estate in this downtown location for under five hundred thousand.

A comprehensively renovated Balsam Grove home with three or four bedrooms, its your call, three new bathrooms, a superb deck atop the double garage like something installed on a Mediterranean yacht, a garden ringed by towering cedars fit for a manor house, in-law suite potential, and some of the best refinished oak floors I have seen. Its a bewilderingly pretty, intensely bright, crisp mid-century house, with distant horizons and recent upgrades whichever way you turn. There is the sense you are in a gallery devoted to the house itself, which is some trick, but all those fresh white walls and that confident, modern air give the impression that maybe you needed a ticket to get in. There really should be reproductions of a house like this for sale at the Lego store. The appliances are all new, and the roof too, along with the eavestroughs and furnace. All the upgrades done so that you dont need to think about them. The lower level is completely finished and can be accessed through the attached garage. It would make smart living quarters for the gallery director, is my thought. A live-work sort of set-up. All of this in a part of the city convenient to the downtown core and the west end shops, as well as the Rideau Trail. There is a bus stop up near the corner that will run you wherever you need to be, not that youll ever want to leave.

A two-and-a-half storey red-brick triplex in fabulous condition, with good tenants, a bonus studio suite used for overnight rentals, and the whole thing backing onto downtown tennis courts. The cap rate as its set up now is almost exactly 7%. Thats probably most of what you need to know, but it breaks down this way: There is a main-floor one-bedroom apartment with its own deck, and at the front of the house is a very pretty short-term suite. These could easily be combined. The second floor has a really pretty two-bedroom apartment that will be vacant in August, and up top is a one-bedroom unit in which to write the Great Canadian novel. Laundry for everyone is in the basement and there are three parking spots. Its an unusually fine combination of location, condition and income. If it was ours wed hardly change a thing, and isnt that exactly the sort of music you wanted to hear?
