236 PARK ST Kingston, ON K7L 1K5

This splendid two-storey midtown home, with its extravagant gardens, as well as its brilliant detached workshop (to me it screams in-law or secondary suite) and its terra cotta tile, its added sunroom at the back of the house, its stone-wrapped woodstove and the oak floors, its skylights and hangouts, its gracious archways and its kitchen full of pot-hangers and acres of countertop, a full-on lounge, is unlike anything you were daring to hope for this season. It is, in all the important ways, better than what has come before. There are two bedrooms, but until recently there were three, and a weekend's work would make it that way again. There is a bathroom on each level. A walk-in pantry with laundry hook-up. The basement is set up for unexpected drop-ins, with a separate sleeping area.
