Set on a beautifully landscaped and fully fenced 0.36-acre corner lot (15,950 sq. ft. ) in one of Kingston's most prestigious neighbourhoods, 2 Alwington Avenue presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a historic limestone home on an exceptional parcel of land. Properties offering this combination of heritage, privacy, and lot size in the heart of the city are indeed, rare. Designated with a heritage plaque dating to 1850, this remarkable residence has been lovingly maintained by the same family for more than 50 years. It holds a special place in the story of The Tragically Hip, serving as a home and gathering place where members of the legendary Canadian band spent countless hours together. Rich in character and craftsmanship, the home showcases wide-plank hardwood floors, detailed wood trim, oversized windows that fill the interior with natural light, and thoughtfully designed living spaces equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining. Spanning three finished levels, the home offers five bedrooms plus a study with potential for a sixth, five bathrooms, generous storage, and flexible spaces that can easily accommodate growing or multigenerational families. Outside, the expansive grounds create a private retreat rarely found in downtown Kingston, complete with an in-ground pool, stone patio, and impressive lawn with room to relax, entertain, and play. At the rear of the property, a detached 700-square-foot garage provides ample parking along with excellent workshop, studio, or hobby space. Beyond its immediate appeal, the generous lot may lend itself to severance or redevelopment opportunities, subject to necessary municipal approvals. Located just moments from Kingston General Hospital, Queen's University, waterfront parks, and scenic trails, 2 Alwington Avenue offers an unmatched combination of history, craftsmanship, land, and location. A landmark property that is as significant as it is welcoming, ready to be enjoyed for generations to come.
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.
