SOLD. The seller here has a pretty fantastic bicycle. Which I know is likely the wrong way to begin a real estate pitch; I’ll lose you before I even get going. But hold on a sec. You should have seen it. This marvellous machine was leaned nonchalantly against its stand...

1120 ACADIA DRIVE
It’s a bungalow, 1120 Acadia is, and I suppose one day I might be looking for one of these myself. Much as I love my two-and-a-half-storey downtown I reckon I’ll have a hard time making it to the top at some point (damn it) ...

48 ORDNANCE ST
SOLD. I list houses all over and I’m happy to do it. I visit perfectly lovely properties in spots I just couldn’t see myself living in. I don’t see the harm in admitting that; it doesn’t mean I won’t do a bang-up job of selling your pale blue elevated bungalow on its deeded corner of a farmer’s flat field.

4101 STONE POINT DRIVE
SOLD. I looked west, over the white-on-white winter expanses of Dog Lake, a scant twenty minutes north of Kingston. This was just a few days ago. Cheri and I were out at this ridiculously lovely property to check on the final listing preparations.

48 FLORENCE ST
SOLD! 48 Florence St was built in 1963. I’ve seen the plans for the house - hand-drawn on yellowing vellum. The detail is marvelous, and so is the penmanship. I can see them from where I write this, and my thought is that if you buy this house you’re going to have to beg for those...

987 HOWE ISLAND DRIVE
Sold. So. Howe Island. Including the ferry ride you’re, what, maybe twenty minutes from downtown Kingston? It’s something like that, give or take a minute, depending on the traffic and the headwinds. And what a drive that is.

3831 MAPLE HILL WAY - SOLD!
SOLD! This marvelous home is located on over two acres in lovely Maple Hill Estates, which is just north of Kingston off Sunbury Rd. It’s a pleasant drive and you can head out there on either Battersea Rd or Highway 15, so if you happen to work in Kingston you’ve got choices and...
$215,000
66 CHERRY ST
Sold. 66 Cherry St is not a big house, nope, but that’s not why it’s so blue. It’s diminutive by design, proud of its compact footprint, and mostly indifferent to its big brick relatives. In other words, 66 Cherry has its own thing going on.
$599,900
185 ONTARIO ST #303
SOLD! I like very much the way this condominium turns its back mostly on the flat expanses of Lake Ontario, and instead pays close attention to the 19th century brick and limestone dwellings along Ontario Street, the hidden grassy courtyards...
$179,000
1177 MAIN ST, MARYSVILLE
Sold. So you step off the Wolfe Island ferry in Marysville and you think to yourself: Well that was as pleasant a twenty minutes as I can remember, and you relive some of the ride: the military college off to your left beneath brilliant blue skies...
