525 BAGOT ST Kingston, ON K7K 3C8

525 Bagot St, a three-bedroom detached downtown home with parking and a deep yard, has been renovated extensively in the last few years, with the pace of change picking up in 2023, when pale new hardwood flooring was installed on both levels, along with a new gas fireplace, all sorts of new cabinetry, and a new furnace and AC. The idea was to either hunker down, or make the house irresistible. The flooring alone seems somehow to have increased the square footage. The halls feel both longer and wider than they did last year, the rooms more expansive, the ceilings further off, the light more intense. There is a main-floor laundry and bathroom at the back of the house, and a kitchen built to make light work of even the most elaborate Ottolenghi recipe. The bottomless garden, with its endless lawns and its rough pleasing symmetry, is a fabulous bonus. Located just north of Raglan Road, a block from the river, and an easy stroll into the downtown core and McBurney Park.
