10 Brant Avenue, Kingston, ON

This is a one-of-a-kind home with real character and a lot of potential. Built in the early 1960s and owned by just two families since, this ranch bungalow has held up remarkably well and still has all the features that made homes from this era special.The main floor is 2,170 square feet, with nearly the same again on the lower level. Walking in, you'll notice details you don't see in newer builds: curved walls, a proper foyer, and oversized living and dining rooms built for entertaining. There are two fireplaces and a butler's kitchen that speaks to how thoughtfully the home was designed for hosting.Upstairs has two full bathrooms, including a nicely updated ensuite and the original pink mid-century main bath, which doubles as a cheater ensuite. Period details have been preserved rather than ripped out.The lower level is a real bonus, with its own separate entrance, a newer kitchen, a new bathroom, two bedrooms, large windows, high ceilings, and a big rec room. There's flexibility for an income suite, in-law setup, or home office. Outside, the lot is double-wide, which is rare for the area and opens up future possibilities, including a potential garden suite. There's green space and a walking path behind the home, with a community garden right next door (not to mention the stunning perennial gardens this home boasts). The exterior is all brick with mature landscaping, and the metal roof is recent. To be straightforward: this home needs some scrubbing and TLC. It isn't move-in perfect and isn't pretending to be. But the bones are excellent, the layout is unusually generous, and the lot is hard to find. For the right buyer, whether you're after a family home, an investment, or a mid-century property to bring back to life, this one is worth a serious look.
