Frontenac Village, downtown Kingston's very pretty townhouse condominium complex, is all red steel roof and brick walkway, planters stuffed with geranium and pansy. There are no cars here (those are stashed underground) but there is a lavish outdoor pool at the heart of the complex, along with a country manor's worth of trimmed hedge and sculpted evergreen. There are cool subterranean spaces for meeting and reading, for working out. It is a salve from the daily grind, a live-in spa, a sanctuary of sorts. Number 61 is spreads over multiple levels, but you never really feel you're heading up or down. The abundant natural light seems almost to move you from top to bottom like a sci-fi escalator, and the patio off the living room both connects directly to the pool and protects its apple tree as if it was an important diplomat. There are three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pellet stove in the living room, a heat pump, an office, parking directly outside the lower level exit, laundry, and even a workshop. It is close to dining and films, the university and the hospitals and the lake. And it is lovely just the way it is, but its price leaves room to make it truly dreamy.
