This downtown Kingston stone home has two airbnb units, an EV charger, and serious fruit belt views.
Looking for a property with serious flexibility, full historic charm, and enough modern upgrades to make your contractor weep with joy? Welcome to 45 Chestnut Street, a fully rebuilt 2.5-storey rusticated stone stunner sitting proudly at the corner of Chestnut and Cherry in Kingston’s beloved Fruit Belt. (Yes, that’s a real neighbourhood name. No, it’s not a smoothie bar.)
This place isn’t just move-in ready—it’s move-in, plug-in, cash-flow-out ready. With two separately licensed Airbnb units, you’ve got options: live in one, rent the other, lease both as premium apartments, or go full hospitality mogul and operate your own downtown Kingston guest empire.
Inside, it’s a masterclass in architectural time travel. The historic exterior charm remains intact, while the interior was taken down to the studs and rebuilt so meticulously it might actually sparkle. We’re talking all-new electrical, plumbing, ductwork, and spray foam insulation from the basement to the attic. Even the water line is brand new. Yes, the water line. That’s commitment.
Both units have independent laundry, WiFi-enabled thermostats, separate HVAC, and individual shut-off valves—because your guests shouldn’t be able to fight over the thermostat. A steel roof, fireproofed basement, Ontario Building Code-compliant fire separation, and in-line smoke detection all add up to peace of mind with a side of “wow, that’s thorough.”
The upper unit is a stylish 2-bedroom retreat complete with a bright open-concept living area, modern bathroom, and a finished garret that opens onto a private rooftop deck with Fruit Belt views. (Sounds delicious, right?) The lower unit is a polished 1-bedroom suite that screams “executive chic” and whispers “rents itself.”
Both units come fully furnished—from linens to kitchenware to hand-selected decor—making this a truly turnkey investment or lifestyle play. Add in LED soffit lighting, new double-hung windows and doors, custom cabinetry with granite/quartz counters, vinyl flooring, a security camera system, exterior parking, and an EV charger, and it’s safe to say this property is doing the most—in the best possible way.
Historic stone on the outside, smart-home savvy on the inside, and rental-ready from top to bottom: 45 Chestnut isn’t just a property—it’s a whole strategy.
