Tucked beneath the dappled shade of mature trees, this custom-built mid-century home in Victoria Woods carries a story as timeless as its design. Built by a skilled shipbuilder who once crafted a beloved Riverside dance hall, the home reflects craftsmanship and thoughtful details rarely seen today. As guests arrive, they are charmed by the approach: stepping up from the quiet street, passing under a covered pergola, welcomed by a rose garden encircling a fountain that has just the right trickling sounds; a gentle prelude to what lies inside. Entering through a beveled glass door into the cozy den with its inviting fireplace and built ins, the warmth of the home immediately unfolds. The heart of the home is anchored by an expansive living room, where original built-ins and light fixtures whisper of the home's heritage. The open hallway showcases opposite of custom cabinetry leads to three of the four bedrooms, one of which enjoys private access through sliding doors to the shaded front yard — a tranquil space that lives like a second backyard. The front yard also has a swing bench in front of the entry and has just enough space for a dining set or patio furniture. Entertain effortlessly in the large formal dining room or gather in the spacious galley kitchen, where built
