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&#39'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-ins and ample casual dining space offer both functionality and charm. Adjacent to the kitchen, a walk-in pantry and oversized laundry room with direct access to the breezeway, make everyday living simple and efficient.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes a separate wing with one of the four bedrooms and its own bathroom — ideal for multigenerational living or private guest quarters. The primary suite opens directly to the backyard through its own sliding doors, allowing for quiet mornings or sunset evenings immersed in nature.

Outdoors, the built-in BBQ and generous entertaining areas invite gatherings both large and small, while the surrounding trees provide filtered light and cool shade throughout the day. The driveway accommodates up to six vehicles, in addition to the two-car garage, ensuring space for both family and guests. (note a basement below)

Perfectly situated near the prestigious Victoria Club, residents can enjoy golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, fitness facilities, and a vibrant social events just moments from home.

This is not just a house' it’s a story — of craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and the timeless beauty of Riverside living.
