Property Description
Step into the story of this remarkable limestone home, built in 1815 by William Baker and known as "Barriefield House," considered one of the oldest homes in Barriefield. Rich in character, history & architectural detail, this distinguished residence offers the warmth and craftsmanship of a bygone era with the space, comfort, and livability of a gracious family home. Featuring 6+ bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms spread over 3 floors, the home offers generous space for family & guests, including a custom 6 pc ensuite, multiple fireplaces, original wood floors, beautiful trim work, & original staircases throughout. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic character, the home includes a Steel Roof ('18) and a Custom Cherry kitchen ('09) with in-floor heat & concealed full-size fridge/freezers. The abundance of living and entertaining space provides endless possibilities for family gatherings, hosting guests, working from home, or perhaps even hosting special events. The original limestone construction, historic details, and sense of permanence create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction. Outside, extensive landscaping by Wentworth Landscapes surrounds the property, creating a private and picturesque setting that complements the home's historic stone walls that surround it. Mature greenery and thoughtfully established gardens provide beautiful spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy the changing seasons. Take a stroll through the Barriefield Rock Garden located across the street, or discover a quiet reading nook on the 3rd floor and gaze over the Cataraqui River toward downtown. Set on .85 acres in total, the property offers an in-ground pool, pool house, & 1 car garage, all accessed by a circular paved driveway. A truly special property where history, architecture, and charm come together, this remarkable limestone residence offers an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of the past while making it your own for generations to come.

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.
