Charming and affordable opportunity in Kingston's desirable Inner Harbour neighbourhood!

A steel roof adds peace of mind, while the inclusion of parking and a small garage is a rare bonus in this central location. Whether you're looking for an affordable downtown home for a student, a practical investment, or a charming place to call home, this property offers plenty of possibilities in a location that's hard to beat.
