This is an exceptional opportunity to capture any investor's attention. Ideally located just one block from Queen's University, the property offers strong, consistent rental appeal in one of the city's most sought-after areas. Situated on a generous 66 x 165 ft lot, the property features an eight-bedroom tenanted home, along with an attached converted garage that has been thoughtfully configured into a separate two-bedroom unit. Both the main house and apartment have been well maintained and consistently rented year after year through word of mouth, reflecting the strength of the location and ongoing demand. Recent and upcoming improvements this summer include to renovate the second-floor bathroom and new flooring in the upper-level kitchen. The property is serviced by a boiler system that heats both the house and apartment, and the asphalt roof is approximately eight years old. In addition to its current use, the property offers notable future potential with the possibility of severance. The lot size and configuration present an exciting opportunity for those looking to explore redevelopment in a prime location. Financials, J RICHARDS "High-Level Planning Review" and City of Kingston -Planning Report outline this future potential in the documents section.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1100/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.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 64 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Kingston. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
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.
Excellent Flexibility
With 10 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.
