Description

If you are in need of a short term 2 bedroom home and appreciate the features and beauty of a limestone home on the edge of a city park - this place may be for you. It is within short walking distance to Queen's University, Kingston Health Sciences Center, Market Square, grocery shopping and numerous restaurants. This beautiful 1873 semi detached rental has been recently renovated and comes furnished, accessorized, and ready to move in - all you’ll need are your clothes and personal belongings. For tenants requiring a longer term rental agreement, there may be an option to bring some of their own furniture. The home is bright, clean and offers living space on 2 levels with lots of character: exposed brick; wooden floors; original trim and baseboards; high ceilings; new custom made windows with custom iron grilles; a gas fireplace in the living room; and original art adorning the walls. The home includes: a fully functioning kitchen with new cupboards and appliances; living room furniture; 2 double beds with fresh mattresses; linens, duvets; blankets; and towels. In addition there is a full height basement with a work desk, washer, dryer and utility sink. The outside yard is as special as the inside of this home with: a backyard deck; privacy fence; locking garden shed; outdoor furniture; and a water feature. The side yard is shaded by large cedar trees and looks over McBurney Park. McBurney (also known as Skeleton) Park is used by young and old. It includes a kids play area, water park, accessible side walks, basketball nets, open grassy areas, large shade trees and an ice rink in the winter. Night time near the park is quiet. You will be surrounded by friendly respectful neighbours and have 2 parking spots. This home would be perfect for a professional on a temporary job assignment, or a graduate student moving to Kingston. The cost of the rental includes, heat, and utilities.. As a tenant, you would have easy access to the landlord (who lives in the area), and can expect prompt follow up to questions and concerns.
