Kingston mansion with a bowling alley is back—and it’s extra fabulous

Back on the market and bringing the drama, Kingston’s most iconic mansion, a 184-year-old gem at 81 King Street East, has returned with more sophistication than your great-aunt’s afternoon tea. Originally built in 1841 by John Watkins, this masterpiece has been lovingly restored over four years to reclaim its crown as Kingston's swankiest address.

Location? Unbeatable. Across from historic City Park, a stone's throw from the Kingston Yacht Club, and mere steps to Queen’s University and downtown buzz. Fancy a day trip? Toronto, Montreal, and even Syracuse, NY, are just a couple of hours away.

Beyond the wrought-iron gates, you’ll find fountains, a heated saltwater lap pool, and meticulously groomed gardens that would make Versailles jealous. Inside, there’s a two-story library glowing under a 900-pound Austrian crystal chandelier and a bowling alley (yes, really!) shipped straight from Germany. Add in five luxurious bedroom suites, a spa retreat, and a two-story gourmet kitchen, and you’ve got an estate that screams bucket list.

This isn’t just a home—it’s an experience. Ready to roll? Your mansion awaits.
