Cross Streets: King St. West. ** Directions: King St. West and Alwington Avenue. Few homes capture both history and possibility the way 2 Alwington Avenue does. Set on a fully fenced corner lot of ~0.36 acre (15,950 sq ft) in Kingstons most distinguished neighbourhood, this limestone residence is more than a home it is a private estate within the city. A property of this scale is exceptionally rare downtown, offering the space, privacy, and flexibility most can only dream of. Inside, light pours through oversized windows, animating gracious rooms designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings. Every corner of the house feels designed for connection whether with family, guests, or the outdoors. With five bedrooms plus a study (6th Bedroom Potential) and Five (5) baths across 3 levels, the home easily accommodates a growing family or multigenerational living. Period details, wide-plank floors, abundant storage, and fine wood trim underscore its enduring character. Yet the story extends far beyond the walls. The fully fenced grounds unfold into a true city oasis: swim in the in-ground pool, dine on the stone patio, and let children play safely on the expansive lawn. A detached 700 sq ft garage, positioned at the far end of the lot, provides parking and workshop/studio potential and strengthens the sites flexibility. And with a lot of this size, the future holds exciting possibilities. The frontage and depth suggest potential for additional lots or a thoughtful redevelopment (subject to approvals), adding another layer of value to an already remarkable property. Cherished by one family for over five decades and marked by a heritage plaque (c.1850), this residence offers both stature and opportunity. A rare convergence of land, location, and legacy: moments to hospitals and campus, steps to lakefront trails, and room to grow for decades. If you have been waiting for a Kingston address worthy of being a forever home, this is the one. (id:27476)
