1258 Rockland Ave

About this home

A rare offering in the heart of Rockland, the first time this beloved character home has come to market in 35 years. Built in 1945 and lovingly kept, this 1,619 sq ft home sits on a generous 7,200 sq ft lot along a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Rockland Ave. Step inside and the character is immediate: original hardwood floors, a classic brick fireplace, leaded-glass windows, and era-specific fixtures and hardware throughout tell the story of a home built to last, and loved well. The main floor offers easy, gracious living, a bright living and dining room anchored by the fireplace, a well-laid-out kitchen, and a sun-filled eating area addition with skylights that spills out toward the garden. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete this level. Downstairs, flexible space awaits: two more bedrooms (including one expansive room ideal as a primary retreat or media space), a second full bathroom, a kitchenette, and a dedicated laundry/utility room — perfect for extended family, guests, or a home office setup. Outside, the established, tree-lined yard is a private retreat of its own — mature gardens, a rear deck made for summer evenings, and ample storage. And the location is hard to beat: steps to Craigdarroch Castle, Government House, and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, a short stroll to the shops and cafés of Cook Street Village, and an easy walk to downtown Victoria and Beacon Hill Park. Homes with this much history, this much character, and this much heart don't come up often in Rockland. Come see what makes this one special. (id:65179)
