This 1800s Sydenham townhome is serving Bridgerton charm with a modern Wi-Fi connection
If walls could talk, this brick beauty in Kingston’s historic Sydenham Ward would have a British accent and at least three scandalous stories to tell. Built in the 1800s, this townhome is old enough to have seen horse-drawn carriages — but don’t worry, the tasteful updates make it clear it’s not stuck in the past.
With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and just the right mix of heritage charm and modern function, this is the kind of home that says, “Yes, I’m cultured — but I also know where to get good Wi-Fi.” The spacious kitchen features a generous island that’s perfect for family brunches, wine-fueled book clubs, or pretending you’re on The Great British Bake Off.
The main floor family room comes complete with oversized windows that let the light pour in — and ample storage for all the things you promised yourself you’d organize. Upstairs, the third-floor loft with skylights is basically a choose-your-own-adventure: will it be an office? A yoga space? A fourth bedroom? A moody art studio where you finally write that novel?
Out back, there’s a private courtyard made for sipping espresso or judging your plants for not thriving. And yes, there’s parking for one, but with everything — Queen’s University, Lake Ontario, Kingston General and Hotel Dieu Hospitals, and downtown — just a walk away, you might want to ditch the car and go full European.
This home isn’t just a place to live — it’s a conversation starter with curb appeal. Own a piece of Kingston’s past, but live like it’s your very stylish future.
