Where history meets whimsy — a limestone charmer that feels like a storybook come to life
Tucked just east of downtown Kingston, this limestone and sandstone beauty is the kind of home that seems to wink as you walk by. Once formal gardens have softened into something more natural, with a chicken coop tucked in one corner and a barn leaning companionably against the house like an old friend. Inside, the familiar heritage details—mile-wide window ledges, honey-toned softwood floors, and a welcoming wraparound porch—blend seamlessly with high-end modern touches that nod respectfully to the past.
A cozy fireplace divides the living and dining rooms, while a more private parlour across the hall offers the perfect spot for a home office or quiet retreat. The wallpapers feel curated rather than conventional, elegant with a whisper of mischief. Upstairs, four bedrooms with soaring ceilings invite grand four-poster beds or the book-lined walls of a scholar’s refuge. Even the clawfoot tub, crouched beneath its window, feels alive—like a big white cat watching the world go by.
Downstairs, the cool stone basement—once the realm of servants and stewing stockpots—is now a peaceful escape, complete with laundry space and room to breathe. This is a home for the literary, the creative, and the quietly ambitious: more urban farmer than landed gentry, more university professor than country squire. It’s a home that tells stories—and is ready for you to write the next one.
