315 EARL STREET — Kingston (Central City East), Ontario

Built in 1890 and lovingly held by the same family for over 50 years, 315 Earl Street is a rare opportunity to own a charming red brick home in one of the most coveted locations in Kingston - next door to Queen's University. Open Google Maps, type in "Queen's University," and this property quite literally sits over the campus name. It is positioned across from Stauffer Library and within walking distance to the hospitals, downtown core, and the Lake Ontario waterfront. The home offers four bedrooms on the upper level with direct access to the attic, presenting potential for a fifth and/or sixth bedroom if desired. The main level features two separate family rooms, creating flexibility for additional bedrooms, workspace, or an optimized rental layout. The basement is also a decent height, making for further bedroom opportunities. The kitchen has been updated with stone countertops, and while the home retains its historic character, it benefits from some updated windows and impressively level floors - a testament to its solid construction and enduring quality. Set on an irregular shaped lot, the property features an additional 66 x 87 foot portion that centers surrounding properties. This parcel itself presents intriguing long-term possibilities (future development, additional parking?). With parking for up to three vehicles currently and unmatched proximity to campus, the positioning alone makes this an investor's dream. Whether envisioned as a continued family residence, a strategic student rental, or a future redevelopment opportunity (subject to approvals), opportunities like this rarely surface - especially after more than five decades of single-family ownership. Location at this level cannot be replicated. (id:63357)
