Description
Our home is quite quiet this summer.We live in a residential area of Kingston.
Our kids are busy and in their early 20’s . Our son is home from University this summer, working locally. The 2 girls are living/working in Ottawa.
We enjoy sailing as a family, and have boats (Kayaks,canoe) available to use, and are located less than a five minute drive from Lake Ontario. We are also a less than a five minute drive to downtown Kingston. Kingston's downtown is a great place to hangout, if it's watching movies in the market square, swimming at our beaches, catching live music or grabbing a coffee and watching the world go by. Looking for help with our backyard landscaping project.
