528 Bagot Street Kingston, Ontario K7K 3C9

$495,000

A fairytale two-bedroom downtown cottage with a third-floor hideaway, a main floor custom kitchen, and intensely handsome Jotul stove that glows all evening, like a film star reading over a new contract. The intensely renovated house (plumbing, electrical, insulation and so on) sits just north of Raglan Road on the west side of the street. I would describe the colour of the place as plum mixed with cherry. The porch and trim are navy. It is rather like a bird you might find high in a palm tree somewhere, a species protected by law. The ground floor has been opened up and the kitchen at the rear is a General-Store-style marvel of reclaimed hardwood and hammered tin, with Lee Valley hardware and a heated slate floor. There is exposed post and beam as well as brickwork, and tongue in groove pine floors set against American Clay walls. You are cast in a film that any minute will be up for a set design Oscar, that's how it feels. A rolling ladder provides entry to the third-floor studio/bedroom/hideaway, and above your head is a 2019 steel roof. The rain can't stand it. The garden is private, and distinctly Nordic, all rough wood and old low-to-the-ground-decking. The shed is fully insulated. Pizza Monster is around the corner. The Elm is over one block. Daughters is just up John and Doug Fluhrer Park is visible just about from the corner. If you need the main drag it’s a ten-minute meander. Street parking is twelve bucks a month. The lifestyle - and here, darn it, comes the cliche - is priceless. (id:33973)
