12 Rideau Street offers the rare charm of an 1840s limestone row house set in the heart of downtown Kingston. This beautifully preserved two bed, two bath home blends historic character with modern comfort, surrounded by the city's best restaurants, shops, waterfront paths, and cultural spots-all just steps away. Inside, the living and dining areas are thoughtfully separated, creating defined spaces while maintaining the home's warm, cohesive flow. The kitchen stands out with views of exposed stone walls, stainless steel appliances, and rich cherry cabinetry that complements the home's heritage feel. The upper level features a striking primary bedroom with original beams and a stylish ensuite complete with a sunken shower. A spacious second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, work, or additional living space. The partially finished basement adds bonus storage or hobby space. Out back, a private stone patio leads directly to the parking area-an exceptional convenience in this downtown location. A timeless limestone façade, walkable lifestyle, and a blend of old world character with modern updates make this property a standout opportunity in Kingston's historic core.
