23 OLD OAK ROAD — Kingston (Central City West), Ontario

It's a unique design - a bungalow with a loft that was originally left unfinished when this already spacious home was built. The owners opted to turn that space into the primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. That left three bedrooms on the main level - and once the kids moved out, the two back bedrooms became offices. What does every good office need? Light, and plenty of it. Check. The view alone keeps you sane through conference calls, and when you need a mental reset, the deck is about three seconds away. From that very office desk overlooking a wide, impossibly green backyard, you'll spot the 6th tee of the Cataraqui Golf and Country Club, yep, right out your back window - just past the deck, the BBQ, the patio furniture, the pond, and the raised garden beds. Honestly, if golf clubs had legs, they'd let themselves out the back gate. Rest assured, that yard is fully fenced, so at least your clubs, the kids or pooch will have to ask permission. Being a raised bungalow means the lower level isn't stuck underground feeling like an afterthought. Big windows bring in natural light, making the space bright, cheerful, and far more inviting than basements typically get credit for. Triple-glazed windows keep things comfortable through both summer heat and winter chill, while cutting down on drafts and outside noise. And then there's the laundry room - refreshingly not the size of a closet. (Not that anyone's ever truly excited about laundry, closet-sized or otherwise.) From the formal dining room or the living space the front yard is a colourful perennial garden this time of year. Drive by, take an admiring look, then call your favourite realtor for a peek inside. All of this sits just a short distance from Lake Ontario Park, St Lawrence College, or Portsmouth Olympic Harbour - though depending on your priorities, the walk to your next tee time might just be the shorter one.Note: A list of recent home improvements is available in the docs section.
