98 CARLETON STREET — Kingston (East of Sir John A. Blvd), Ontario

98 Carleton Street is located in Kingscourt, one of Kingston's most convenient neighbourhoods. You're walking distance to both KSS and Regi, around the corner from the Memorial Centre with its market and off-leash dog park, and less than five minutes from downtown. This fully renovated three-bedroom bungalow has more character than almost anything else we've seen and the white siding, low-slung covered porch, and mature maple tree give it incredible curb appeal. The interior was extensively renovated in 2021 with a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, trim, windows, doors, lighting, and more. The layout is fun and inviting while still being genuinely functional. 2 bedrooms are located at the front of the house - one currently set up as a laundry room, though it could easily be converted back - and the four-piece bathroom sits just off a small nook-like hallway. The dining room is also at the front of the home and has clear sightlines through the galley kitchen all the way to the living room, connecting the house from front to back. The kitchen itself is bright and efficient with a breakfast bar and huge window that fills the space with natural light. At the back of the house, the living room feels quiet and private, and the third bedroom beside it would make an ideal primary. The backyard is just as good. It's fully fenced, there's a large west-facing deck, a fire pit, and access to the insulated garage. The garage is drywalled, has pot lights, windows, and a sliding door. Use it as a workshop, home gym, studio, office, hangout space, or the world's greatest teenager escape pod. The entire interior of both the house and garage have just been freshly painted. Roof shingles were replaced in 2015, the furnace in 2016, and the sewer lateral in 2018. This updated and seriously charming home makes a lot of sense for a lot of people - downsizers, young couples, single parents, retirees, first-timers, or small families. And at $445,000, you can actually afford to make the leap! (id:63357)
