Nestled in the prestigious and highly sought-after Ridgewood Estates neighbourhood, this spacious 5 Bedroom home offers a rare opportunity to own a large family property backing onto environmentally protected Collins Creek with no rear neighbours. Set on a beautiful mature lot surrounded by towering trees, this home offers exceptional privacy and an incredible setting that is rarely available. Featuring a rare 5-bedroom layout on the upper level, this home is ideal for growing or multi-generational families. The spacious primary bedroom includes its own ensuite bathroom, while the generous principal rooms throughout the home provide endless potential for modern updates and customization. The main level offers large sun-filled living spaces, a functional eat-in kitchen, formal dining area, and a cozy family room with fireplace overlooking the backyard. The walkout basement adds additional living space and future in-law suite potential, along with a cold storage room and abundant storage options. While cosmetically dated, the home has been lovingly maintained by its long term owner and presents an incredible opportunity to renovate and add significant value in one of Kingston's premier neighbourhoods. Double car garage, mature landscaping, large driveway, and an unbeatable location close to parks, schools, amenities, and nature trails complete the package. Rarely does a property with this combination of location, lot, size, layout, and long-term upside come to market.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $400/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.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Kingston's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
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 5 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 3 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.
