196 Ordnance St is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom detached house in East of Sir John A. Blvd, Kingston, listed for sale at an asking price of $539,900 (MLS® X14153416).
Charming and affordable opportunity in Kingston's desirable Inner Harbour neighbourhood!

Featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, generously sized kitchen and living spaces, and a low-maintenance property with minimal yard upkeep. McBurney Park is literally across the street, while downtown Kingston's shops, restaurants, and everyday amenities are all just minutes away. A steel roof adds peace of mind, while the inclusion of parking and a small garage is a rare bonus in this central location. Whether you're looking for an affordable downtown home for a student, a practical investment, or a charming place to call home, this property offers plenty of possibilities in a location that's hard to beat.
