Description

The Swift house is a royal blue and rather glorious century farmhouse perched on a hilltop above Portsmouth Village, just west of Kingston's downtown core. Some days, some seasons, you can see the waters of Lake Ontario down below, hear sails clinging tight to their masts. There is the sense of a house that is keeping watch, a bright sentry, a painted bird high in the trees. The blue ceramic tiles in the kitchen and breakfast area lap up against the old pine floors the way water reaches the beach, and sea light floods in through every one of the marvellous new Marvin windows. The kitchen, with its pine counters and its pot racks, its gas stove, feels plundered from the land's best cottage, and gives onto a family room addition at the rear of the house anchored with a fireplace and providing views over the limestone patio and lilac gardens. The living room and formal dining room are nearly mirror images, one set each side of the front entrance, and the three good bedrooms include a large principal with walk-in closet. It is an utterly charming house, both elegant and comforting. It is a five minute walk, if that, to the water's edge. Or you just stand on the front lawns as ship's captain, and summon from that rare vantage point all the good weather.Show Description
