New This Week in the Westport, Ontario Real Estate Market: Three Properties Worth a Look
A Different Kind of Week
The past few posts have been focused on vacant land, and for good reason; there’s been a lot of activity there. But this week the story shifts to residential homes, and it’s a good one. Two new listings have arrived; a third has been reduced, and together they paint a nice picture of what country living near Westport looks like across different budgets and lifestyles.
New to the Market
$599,000 | MLS#: X12833734
3+1 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 1,586 sq ft + Finished Walk-Out Basement | 1.49 Acres | South of Westport
There’s a lot going on here, in the best possible way.
Set on a picturesque 1.49-acre wooded lot just south of Westport, this cedar-exterior bungalow has been a well-loved home, and it shows in the mature perennial gardens and vegetable patch out front, in the stone propane fireplace anchoring the living room, and in the thoughtful layout that keeps the main floor functional without feeling cramped.
The main level has three bedrooms; two full bathrooms, including a 4-piece en suite off the primary; a bright kitchen that opens directly to the dining area; and a rear deck with a retractable awning overlooking the gardens and treed backyard. The living room is generous, the circular driveway gives the property great curb presence, and the layout works well for one-level living day to day.
What really expands the appeal is downstairs. The fully developed walk-out basement adds a fourth bedroom, a 3-piece bathroom, a large family room with a second propane fireplace, a dedicated workshop, a cold room, and office space. That’s a lot of usable square footage for the price. Walk out from the family room to the yard, and you get the full picture: privacy, mature trees, a garden shed, and a lot of space to breathe.
The home is serviced by a drilled well and full septic system and comes with an attached 2-car garage. The surrounding landscape, mature shrubs, perennials, and wooded acreage reflect years of care. The listing notes that while the home reflects its era, it presents an excellent opportunity to update and make it your own in a serene country setting. A survey is available.
Westport is just minutes away, Kingston is 45 minutes south. A school bus route runs along Perth Road.
Who this is for: Buyers looking for a move-in-ready country bungalow with serious basement potential on a private wooded lot near Westport, with room to update on their own timeline.

5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 3903 sq ft | Village of Westport | Lake Access
This one just came back to the market, and it’s worth a fresh look.
6 Spring Street is a classic red brick home sitting in the heart of the Village of Westport, within walking distance of the cafes, restaurants, shops, marina, and Upper Rideau Lake that make this one of Eastern Ontario’s most desirable small towns. It’s the kind of property that doesn’t come up often: a fully renovated, character-filled home in the village core with real flexibility built into its layout.
The main floor is thoughtfully designed around one-level living, with a spacious primary bedroom featuring a walk-in closet, a 3-piece ensuite, and a walkout to a sundeck. The gourmet kitchen with hickory hardwood flooring and an island flows into a bright dining area, and a stately living room with a fireplace gives the main floor its anchor point. There’s also a dedicated office and a large front room that works equally well as a family room, additional office space, or flexible-use retail area, which is practical given the property’s location on Spring Street.
At the back of the home, a private three-season sunroom off the primary bedroom offers a wonderful bug-free space for relaxing or entertaining, with direct access to the landscaped backyard.
The second level, with its own separate entrance, features three bedrooms, a 4-piece bath, and a sitting/coffee area. That configuration has real short-term rental potential for the right owner, whether that’s a B&B setup, a vacation rental, or simply extra space for guests and family. A detached garage sits in the rear yard alongside additional outbuildings. The home has been updated with a new metal roof, heat pump, and propane furnace.
Municipal water and sewer. Seven parking spaces total. A beautifully maintained property in the best possible location.
Who this is for: Buyers looking for a renovated village home in Westport with character, flexibility, and walking-distance access to the lake and all village amenities, with income potential on the second floor.

3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 3,501 sq ft | 1.9 Acres | Southeast of Westport
A well-priced opportunity just got a little more compelling.
This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom bungalow sits on 1.9 acres just minutes southeast of Westport, set back from the road with a fenced rear yard, storage sheds, and a 2-car attached garage. The open-concept main floor features soaring cathedral ceilings, a large living/dining area with a propane fireplace, an oak kitchen with ample counter space and storage, and a covered rear porch plus deck. The primary bedroom has its own deck, walkout, and ensuite. The lower level is fully spray-foamed and ready for development, a rare advantage that substantially reduces the cost and complexity of finishing it to your specs.
A drilled well, full septic, and an on-demand generator system round out the practical side of this property. School bus route. Minutes to Westport’s shops, restaurants, beach, and winery.
At $619,000, this is a well-maintained bungalow with solid bones and a basement full of potential, in a prime location.
Who this is for: Buyers looking for a turnkey country bungalow near Westport with acreage, a development-ready lower level, and easy access to all village amenities.
