64 WELLINGTON Street, Kingston, ON K7L 3C3

About This Property

With parking, patio, garden, and income potential, 64 Wellington St is perfect for a young professional, retired couple, or someone wanting a Kingston pied-a-terre. This stunning duplex (circa 1841, stucco over brick) is situated close to City Park and the university, and just up the street from Lake Ontario. The renovations are marvellous, the appliances high-end, and the garden an oasis. The two one-bedroom units both feature solid-wood custom kitchens and exposed brickwork and clawfoot tubs. It is hard to choose between them, but if I lived there myself, I would write at a desk set dead-centre of the room beyond the ground-floor kitchen, staring wistfully out at the interlocking brick patio, trying to unravel in words its dappled shade. I would write better sentences, I know I would. I would also sleep better than I ever have, at the back of the house and far from the madding crowd, in that pine-ceilinged bedroom with the garden wrapped around it like a quilt. The parlour at the front of the house belongs in a magazine, or that Hardy novel you’ve been meaning to re-read. Some will view the property less romantically, perhaps installing their children, one above the other while they’re at Queen’s, giving them every possible advantage. And fair enough, because all sorts of brilliant futures are possible here.
