58 Earl St, Kingston, K7L 2G6

Home Overview

Description

Kingston's downtown Sydenham Ward is packed with lovely townhomes, but renovated detached residences are in short supply, particularly along the quiet, close-to-the-water bottom end of Earl St. It can feel as if you're waiting for a comet. 58 Earl St may be that shooting star. Walkable in minutes to the downtown core and to the water, the hospitals, to City Park and the University, the location feels as perfect as a front-row seat. With large principal rooms and high ceilings, excellent natural light and grown-up perennial gardens front and back, it's a dream property hewn from perfect angles in double-brick and immaculate plaster. The main floor, with its formal living and dining rooms, is pleasingly open thanks to an extensive 2012 renovation (the kitchen has in-floor heating!), and the home office addition gives onto an elevated deck and then those gardens both formal and wild. The primary bedroom suite at the rear of the second floor is as grand as any you'll find, with sitting areas and a six-piece ensuite so generous you'll want to plan in advance your route back to bed. Two more bedrooms are spread across the front of this level and both have spacious closets. The third floor - completely finished with hardwood floors and ample knee-wall storage - would make for a splendid fourth bedroom if it wasn't so well-suited to a studio, or teenager's hideaway. The auxiliary heat pump (2020) is connected to three split units over two floors and keeps things both warm and cool, but the main heat source is the gas boiler and the splendid, stylish radiators. The parking pad was resurfaced in 2022, plenty of the windows and doors have been replaced, and the basement is dry and insulated.
