Chalet Style Arts-and-Crafts
House... This inspiring residence
was designed by the renowned architect, Samuel Maclure in 1900. Beautifully
situated on a high point of Terrace Avenue, a quaint country-like
lane in the Rockland area being only a short distance from downtown
Victoria. Marvellous easterly views to Oak Bay, the ocean, islands
and mountains. The residence of 420 square metres (4521 square feet)
is one of Maclure's more interesting designs, full cross-axial plan
featuring a balconied two-storey entrance hall with fireplace and
grand staircase. Also featuring beamed ceilings, cedar paneling and
built-ins, balconies and porches. Set in an attractive property of
1203 square metres (12,948 square feet) with rock outcroppings and
sloping eastward to a level area, there is also a separate suite accommodation
on the lower level. The Heritage Designated home retains its original
charm and character however, it is in need of interior updating and
decorating - the expense would certainly be justified !
