When I first moved to Kingston, this was where we found our first family home - Ridgewood Estates. We loved the small community atmosphere, the abundance of green space, the feeling that we had entered a hidden gem of a neighbourhood. That same feeling still exists and now it can be yours! This lovely home has generously sized rooms and lots of outdoor living space. With three bedrooms on the main level and two in the basement, your growing family has many options. The large kitchen looks out to the back yard where you can see the kids playing or picking fresh veggies from the garden for dinner. It flows naturally into the dining area without the hassle of two tables and then heads into the large living room with big windows and plenty of space. Down the hall are the three bedrooms and a bathroom that truly makes you stop and have a bath. It forces you to make time for yourself. The lower level has had new carpeting installed and there is a generous family room with a wood burning stove. You will also find two more bedrooms and another bathroom with a shower in addition to the laundry/storage area. The back yard has a two tiered deck that is east facing, so you can enjoy a leisurely dinner without being baked by the setting sun. Raised garden beds in a fenced area and a storage shed keep the area neat and tidy. This great home won't last long, so book your showing today!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $536/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.
Market Position
At 24 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.
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.
