Unparalleled waterfront offering just minutes from downtown Kingston, set along the scenic St. Lawrence River's Bateau Channel with 190 feet of shoreline, exceptional privacy and natural serenity. The property features approximately 10 feet of deep, clean water off a long wood dock - ideal for boating, swimming, and waterfront living. Built in the late 1800s, the main residence has been thoughtfully preserved to maintain its original character and charm. Original woodwork, pine flooring, tall windows and high ceilings blend seamlessly with upgrades including a brand new water-to-air geothermal heating and cooling system and 200-amp electrical service. The main floor offers a spacious, flowing layout with multiple living areas, abundant natural light, a fireplace insert, wood and pellet stoves, and a soaring front sunroom overlooking the St. Lawrence River, Milton Island and nearby undeveloped beach. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The lower level features an unfinished basement with generous ceiling height and thick limestone walls, accessible from the kitchen or ancient exterior stone steps leading to the garden. A fully renovated detached one-bedroom cottage on the West side of the property provides ideal year-round space for extended family, guests or a workspace, complete with new kitchen cabinetry, baseboard heating and a wood stove. At the water's edge, another charming one-bedroom cottage offers a rare four-season waterfront experience with a full bathroom, kitchen, living area, fireplace insert, forced air heating and newer steel roof. A separate bunkie with cathedral ceilings on the East side of the main house has additional guest or creative space. Outdoors, the property is enhanced by mature gardens, a four-bay detached carport and a long private driveway with access from both Highway 2 and Glen Lawrence Crescent. With three distinct living spaces and exceptional waterfront, this property offers a rare opportunity with endless potential.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $857/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Kingston market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Market Position
At 42 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
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.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 6 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Kingston.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
