403 BAGOT ST Kingston, ON K7K 3C1

403 Bagot St, right downtown, between Ordnance and Bay (Walk Score 96), is a classic detached four-bedroom red-brick, and makes for a special sort of family home, or smart investment (a fifth bedroom would be straightforward, as would conversin back to a duplex). Formal and high-ceilinged living and family rooms, a separate dining room, then kitchen, then three-piece bathroom and laundry. The ground floor is a mile deep front-to-back. Upstairs is more of the same with the principal bedroom at the top of the back staircase. A 75K renovation to this room and the adjoining bathroom in 2019 have created an elegant, restful space quite separate from the darker hardwoods to be found elsewhere in the house. The shingles were replaced last year and the exterior gingerbread was repainted at the same time. There is a sweet fenced garden and ample parking beyond the back fence. It's not easy to find brick homes with this much space, and this much character (the plaster moldings! the stained glass transom! the classic iron radiators!) this close to the city's core. The Artillery Park Aquatic Centre is almost across the street, and Novel Idea is not even a five-minute stroll away.
