A rare opportunity to own a historic limestone farmhouse on approximately 3.5 acres just north of Highway 401. Offering country living within the City of Kingston, this unique property includes a substantial limestone home, a previously severed vacant lot, and a collection of older barns, workshops, sheds, and outbuildings. Centrally located with a short commute to CFB Kingston, Queen's University, Kingston General Hospital, and Hotel Dieu Hospital, this property combines privacy, space, and convenience in a highly desirable location. Built in the 1840s, this timeless country home stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and durability of a bygone era. Rich in character but requiring renovation, the residence features many original details, and a wood-burning fireplace. The flexible layout offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and significant potential for those looking to restore, renovate, or reimagine the space. Set on a gentle rise and surrounded by gardens and open green space, the property offers endless possibilities for the visionary buyer. The inclusion of the previously severed vacant lot adds tremendous value and flexibility, while the numerous outbuildings provide ample space for hobby farming, workshops, storage, or a variety of agricultural and recreational uses. Whether your dream is a country estate, restoration project, hobby farm, or rural retreat, this unique offering provides an exceptional beginning to bring your vision to life. Properties offering this combination of acreage, historic character, extensive outbuildings, and a previously severed lot are increasingly difficult to find. Offers will be presented July 16th at 1:00pm.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $268/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Kingston are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
