This Kingston limestone estate is so rare it practically has its own zip code
Some homes are just addresses — and then there’s 2 Alwington Avenue. Set on a fully fenced 0.36-acre corner lot in Kingston’s most distinguished neighbourhood, this limestone beauty isn’t just a house, it’s a private estate hiding in plain sight downtown. Properties with this much space and possibility rarely hit the market, which makes this one a generational find.
Inside, light floods through oversized windows into gracious rooms designed for both daily life and unforgettable gatherings. Five bedrooms plus a study, five bathrooms, period details, and wide-plank floors mean you get the character of 1850 with the practicality of 2025. And if you’re into future-proofing? This home’s three levels can handle a growing family, multigenerational living, or the dream office/library/playroom combo you’ve been waiting to build.
Step outside and the story gets even better: an in-ground pool for summer lounging, a stone patio for dinner parties, and a lawn so big you might need a riding mower. The detached 700 sq ft garage is perfect for parking, a workshop, or a future studio, while the lot’s size whispers about subdivision or redevelopment potential (subject to approvals, of course).
Cherished by one family for more than 50 years, this heritage-plaque limestone estate blends history, land, and location like nothing else in the city. If you’ve been waiting for a Kingston forever home, here it is — and it might not wait for you.
