Tucked away amongst the streets of Kingston sits a house that you would almost not believe to be true. It hides in plain sight, loved by the same owner for 49 years and untouched by millennial grey paint. Its hardwood floors still peek out from under the carpet to remind you that a true treasure lies beneath. The 3 bedrooms still flaunt their accent walls and colourful rugs, making it almost impossible not to smile as you think about the life you would have, getting to wake up every day and tiptoe down through the living room, past the gas fireplace and into the powder pink kitchen for your breakfast. Although a formal dining room may be a thing of the past, it is a perfect space to sit and sip your morning vice when you find yourself not quite ready for the morning sunshine of the rear deck. A house like this makes you look forward to coming home, be it to work in the double-car garage on your recent project car, or maybe roll up your sleeves and plant that garden that you have been wanting but never had space for. In a world of chaos, this house is the calm. A warm community with parks and green spaces, and that old school 60 x 125 ft lot that makes you wonder how you didn't realize something this pure still existed. It may sound overly romantic, after all it is just a house...but this is truly a house-shaped dose of serotonin, a place where your worries are left at the door, and you can tell that for the last 49 years, this home has been treasured and cared for every single day. An updated roof provides peace of mind, along with the annual maintenance on the gas fireplace and furnace, the cherry on top that shows this house has truly been loved as a home. The basement showcases its open space, ready for its next assignment, perhaps a theatre room or expansive hobby studio. After all, the separate walk-up entrance is begging to be put to good use. Come be inspired at 139 Florence Street!
