1863 Sydenham Road

Original Remarks

Silverstone House offers a rare commercial opportunity in a historic limestone manor built in 1825 by Kingston's first mayor, John Counter. Boasting 1,487 sq ft of attached office space with a separate entrance and parking for up to 9 vehicles this property blends timeless architecture with functional professional design. The commercial addition, built in the 1960s and zoned for business, features multiple offices across two levels, with oversized windows, and a 2-piece bathroom. Whether you're a therapist, designer, entrepreneur, or creative, this adaptable space suits a range of uses including income potential or studio conversion. Wrapped in stone walls, the property is impressively quiet inside despite proximity to Sydenham Road, and is located just minutes from Hwy 401 and downtown Kingston. With striking curb appeal and easy access, it offers visibility without compromising tranquility. Behind the commercial utility lies a show-stopping residence, home to a prominent Kingston designer. The bright, eclectic interior defies expectations so full of light, you'll forget you're in a stone home. Custom tilework, hand-painted finishes, and contemporary styling breathe life into expansive rooms with soaring ceilings. The carved pineapple fireplace surround is a standout example of early Canadiana. The home features a grand primary suite (formerly a ballroom), guest accommodations, and a slate-counter kitchen opening into a generous dining room. A large screened porch leads into the walled perennial garden, ideal for private outdoor entertaining. With flexible office space above and below plus potential to convert the lower level into a two-car garage this property is rich with possibility.
