3095 Sydenham Road

This charming limestone home, only 20 minutes from downtown Kingston, was built in the 1820s and sits well back from Sydenham Road on 3 acres of property with gardens, fruit trees and a woodlot, including Shagbark Hickory trees -- an oasis of privacy. Much of the original charm still exists in this home, including the deep wood panelled window sills. The modern eat in kitchen boasts stone counter tops and slate floors, and ample work space. Relax on the shaded deck, dine under the pergola on the limestone patio, or watch the wrens singing from the comfort of the screened porch. There is a sitting room at the back entrance with skylights and bright south facing windows and a wood stove, perfect for reading or enjoying the view of the garden. Off this room you will also find a mudroom with double sink and ample storage, perfect for potting or cleaning garden vegetables. A bright dining room with 2 full walls of windows is open to the kitchen and leads to the living room. There is also a large library off the living room, which features a wall of bookshelves and more of the original deep wood windowsills. On the main level there is a pantry space, laundry and a walk-in shower/bathroom. As you head up to the second level you will find a lovely bedroom with three walls of windows and as you move further up you will find two more spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a section of limestone on the west wall. The bathroom on this level features a tub and has access to the principal bedroom. A large 2-storey garage built in 2017 has vehicle and workshop space and a composting toilet on the ground level. A wide staircase leads up to a bright open space with ample windows that is currently being used as an office, but is a perfect space for other uses. The main electrical panel for the property is in the garage.
