Home inspection in Kingston.

Not by itself, but it means services and age deserve a close look. Kingston was platted in 1857, its post office ran until 1907, and the 2020 Census counted 184 residents. In 2013 voters chose 36 to 23 against dissolving the city, so it remains its own municipality. On an older village house, buyers should confirm whether water and sewer are municipal or private, then look at wiring age, plumbing materials, foundation, roof and chimney, and moisture near the North Fork of the Crow River. If there is a private well, we recommend a water test.

Plan on two to three hours for an average home; larger, older or multi-unit properties run longer because there is simply more to document.
