Nestled in the prestigious and highly sought-after Ridgewood Estates neighbourhood, this spacious 5 Bedroom home offers a rare opportunity to own a large family property backing onto environmentally protected Collins Creek with no rear neighbours. Set on a beautiful mature lot surrounded by towering trees, this home offers exceptional privacy and an incredible setting that is rarely available. Featuring a rare 5-bedroom layout on the upper level, this home is ideal for growing or multi-generational families. The spacious primary bedroom includes its own ensuite bathroom, while the generous principal rooms throughout the home provide endless potential for modern updates and customization. The main level offers large sun-filled living spaces, a functional eat-in kitchen, formal dining area, and a cozy family room with fireplace overlooking the backyard. The walkout basement adds additional living space and future in-law suite potential, along with a cold storage room and abundant storage options. While cosmetically dated, the home has been lovingly maintained by its long term owner and presents an incredible opportunity to renovate and add significant value in one of Kingston's premier neighbourhoods. Double car garage, mature landscaping, large driveway, and an unbeatable location close to parks, schools, amenities, and nature trails complete the package. Rarely does a property with this combination of location, lot, size, layout, and long-term upside come to market.
