Rare Country Retreat with Endless Creative Potential! This 1.5-storey home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, set on a picturesque country property. Built in 1870, with addition completed in 1910, this home blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, artist's retreat, market garden, or country escape, this unique property offers many possibilities. A classic barn provides flexible space including a stable could be transformed into an artist's studio, workshop, creative space, or event barn. A newer outbuilding (built in 2006 with a metal roof) offers more room for woodworking, equipment storage, or a home-based business. The land is fully fenced and framed by mature woods, creating a private and tranquil setting. Established apple trees, perennial gardens, and generous open space provide the perfect canvas for vegetable gardens, flower production, hobby livestock, or a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The home has been tastefully updated while preserving character. The kitchen was renovated in 2018, while 2 full bathrooms-one on each level-offer convenience for everyday living. A Vermont Castings woodstove with a new chimney installed in 2019 adds warmth and country charm. Many windows have been replaced with Energy Star-rated units, filling the home with natural light while improving efficiency. The main floor also features a practical laundry room, and the enclosed porch provides additional storage. The low-maintenance exterior includes vinyl siding and a durable metal roof. Enjoy relaxing on the welcoming porches, entertain on the deck or stone patio. Appreciate the convenience of the spacious driveway and detached garage.

Meet Jeff Ross — Kingston Real Estate Advisor
I help buyers, sellers, and military families make confident real estate decisions in Kingston with clear strategy, local insight, and no guesswork.
With over 16 years of experience as a licensed sales representative, I bring a data-driven approach to pricing, negotiation, and market timing—so my clients don’t just participate in the market, they position themselves to win.
Kingston isn’t just where I work—it’s part of my family story. From deep roots in the area to decades spent around local neighbourhoods and cottage country, I offer a level of insight you won’t get from out-of-town agents or generic online platforms.
My background in digital marketing and media gives my clients a real advantage—especially when selling. From strategic pricing to high-impact online exposure, every step is designed to maximize value and reduce stress.
I’ve also worked closely with relocating clients, including those posted to Kingston, helping them navigate tight timelines, competitive conditions, and unfamiliar neighbourhoods with confidence.
At the core of everything I do is simple: clear communication, smart strategy, and results you can rely on.
Kingston is home for my family. My wife and I are raising our two sons here, and we continue to stay closely connected to the community that makes this city such a great place to live.
I have lived and worked in Kingston for almost 30 years. Having grown up moving frequently, as my father was in the military, I developed a love of travel, adventure, .. and houses! I have had a 25 year career in the psychology field, peppered with some real estate investing, as well as stints as a landlord. I am passionate and excited to help you meet your real estate needs!

After many years in customer service and sales including owning my own business, I am very excited to be pursuing my career in real estate. I found my passion for real estate through buying and selling my first family home in Cold Lake, Alberta. As a military spouse I have experienced firsthand the obstacles that can be encountered during this process including restricted timelines, working with Government relocation services (BGRS) and maneuvering through the challenges of unique real estate markets.
Whether you are new to the city of Kingston or a lifelong resident in search of a new home, investment or vacation property, I am dedicated to utilizing all my knowledge and resources to help you through this process as smoothly as possible. Myself and my colleagues at the Penny Blake Home Team, with over 30 years of experience in the Kingston and surrounding area, will help you find the property that meets your needs.

With strong ties to Kingston, I am excited to help you find your perfect home in our beautiful city. Born in Kingston, I attended Queen’s as an undergraduate, graduating with a Master’s in Psychology, and then spending many years working in the Psychology Dept at Queen’s before starting my career in real estate. My husband and I have raised our 3 boys in Kingston. Not only am I familiar with the school system here, I have spent a great deal of time in the local arenas watching my boys play hockey over the years!
I have experience with the many sides of real estate – I know what it is like to buy and sell my own homes, moving as our family grew and our needs changed. In addition, owning a custom home building business with my husband for over 20 years has given me valuable experience and insight, all of which will help me provide you with the best service possible. Finally, as a Remax sales rep, I can help you navigate all the aspects of buying and selling your home.
If you are planning a move, I am here to help you with that transition. If you are looking to sell your home, I will work hard to help you get the best deal you can. If you are looking to buy a home, whether you are new to Kingston, or have lived here for years, I can help you find the right neighbourhood and the right home for your lifestyle.

I grew up in Belleville, Ontario, but after living in Kingston my entire adult life, I consider the Limestone City my home town. My husband and I have bought and sold many homes over the years, as our life circumstances changed and we have always researched our preferred neighbourhoods well. Our first home was in Amherstview; we moved just outside Kingston when we wanted to start our family; moved back into Kingston when we chose the public and high schools we wanted our two girls to attend and moved again when we became “empty nesters”. We have truly hit all the life cycles.
Oddly, my working background began in real estate – 16 years in law offices working through real estate deals. Needless to say, I have in-depth knowledge of what happens to an offer once it goes to your lawyer. The next step in my career path took me in the direction of human resources and I am very proud of my success in that field. It gave me great insight into how to treat people and understand and correct their frustrations.
Now, in a sense, I have come full circle – back to an exciting, challenging and rewarding career in Real Estate which I’ve been doing for over 7 years now.
