66 Cowdy St, Kingston, Ontario K7K 3V9

A three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom, slab on grade semi-detached home built in 2018 and with an attached garage, located just north of the Fruit Belt neighbourhood, an easy walk from Kingston's downtown core. Those are the barest of details, but unless you already live in downtown Kingston you might not realize just how rarely that description can be attached to one of the local real estate listings. I live in the same neighbourhood and my house dates to about 1875. Most of the neighbouring properties are over one hundred years old. There just isn't the room for this sort of modern in-fill project. And that's a shame because most days I'd pay a lot for a garage and an almost total absence of maintenance chores. Nothing I can think of here is even halfway through its lifespan. The eat-in kitchen and living room are at the back, collecting all the sunlight, with sliding doors out to the garden. It's a very modern configuration. There's a main-floor laundry and bathroom too. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is very nearly palatial, big enough for dancing, and is being used as a rec room. It makes sense to me and unless your family has grown, numbers-wise, you might set it up the same way. The other two bedrooms are no slouches either, and the overall sense is of a worry-free, reasonably priced home in a hard-to-beat location.
