Few homes capture both history and possibility the way 2 Alwington Avenue does. Set on a fully fenced corner lot of ~0.36 acre (15,950 sq ft) in Kingstons most distinguished neighbourhood, this limestone residence is more than a home it is a private estate within the city. A property of this scale is exceptionally rare downtown, offering the space, privacy, and flexibility most can only dream of. Inside, light pours through oversized windows, animating gracious rooms designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings. Every corner of the house feels designed for connection whether with family, guests, or the outdoors. With five bedrooms plus a study (6th Bedroom Potential) and Five (5) baths across 3 levels, the home easily accommodates a growing family or multigenerational living. Period details, wide-plank floors, abundant storage, and fine wood trim underscore its enduring character. Yet the story extends far beyond the walls. The fully fenced grounds unfold into a true city oasis: swim in the in-ground pool, dine on the stone patio, and let children play safely on the expansive lawn. A detached 700 sq ft garage, positioned at the far end of the lot, provides parking and workshop/studio potential and strengthens the sites flexibility. And with a lot of this size, the future holds exciting possibilities. The frontage and depth suggest potential for additional lots or a thoughtful redevelopment (subject to approvals), adding another layer of value to an already remarkable property. Cherished by one family for over five decades and marked by a heritage plaque (c.1850), this residence offers both stature and opportunity. A rare convergence of land, location, and legacy: moments to hospitals and campus, steps to lakefront trails, and room to grow for decades. If you have been waiting for a Kingston address worthy of being a forever home, this is the one.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 25+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $642/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 33 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.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,000 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 6 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 5 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.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Kingston properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $8,021 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
