Listing description
Rare opportunity to take over a piece of history with this classic and delightful five-bedroom family home, in the heart of the coveted Sydenham Ward in downtown Kingston. This elegant and spacious home was constructed in 1878 by local African-American builder and developer Joseph George. It was designed by prominent Canadian architect and engineer Joseph William Power of Power & Son, renowned for his Romanesque Revival style, which is evident in the corbels, pillars and other detailing in this characterful, historic home.
A rarity worth mentioning in this sought-after neighborhood is the remarkably large garden,beautifully private and well landscaped, all just steps from Market Square, KGH and Queen's. Enjoy the comforts of modern living with a full renovation (designed by the interior designer owner) which included a new kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and an elegantly finished basement equipped with 8' high ceilings and ample natural light. The expansive rear garden is a true gem, featuring a stylish deck and a European-style gazebo (just built), providing an idyllic space for relaxation and entertainment.
Plus a gas fire pit on the terrace to enjoy on cooler evenings. This home harmoniously blends classic architecture (both inside and out) with contemporary amenities. Enjoy the original restored radiators for character, alongside modern air conditioning on the top three storeys and efficient radiant heat from a new gas-fired boiler.
From the fully restored front porch and balcony crafted with cedar and ipe wood to the inline parking accommodating up to three vehicles with a carport, every detail has been considered. With five generously sized bedrooms and three baths, there is plenty of room for the entire family to live and thrive. This is a unique opportunity to own a stunning home that offers both historic charm and modern convenience in the heart of Sydenham Ward.
