1566 DESPARD AVENUE, Victoria, British Columbia V8S1T3

A lovely and welcoming home with elements of 1940’s elegance, well-crafted thoughtful renovations, and a private garden make this property a unique retreat from the bustle of the city. Tucked away in one of Rockland's most sought-after streets, the home suggests a hint of glamour in every room. Bespoke Art Deco elements such as arched doorways that incorporate cove ceilings, gleaming fir floors, lux hardware and windows placed to maximize natural light showcase the picturesque garden to create an awe-inspiring atmosphere. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances including Fisher Paykel gas range and oven, a large central island for food prep and adjoins the dining room. The serene primary retreat boasts ''his and her'' closets with V-groove doors, an armoire/vanity nook and original wall sconces. An exquisitely renovated 4piece, spa-like bathroom has marble walls with heated floor tiles and is shared with 2nd bedroom with a gas fireplace. The lower level has an exterior access, a 3rd bedroom, a 3-piece bath and flex space for guests or home office. The enchanting garden is enclosed by custom, wrought iron fencing and offers three sunny, quiet outdoor living spaces. Exquisite plants, gracious Japanese maples, meandering stone walkways and stairs create a unique, peaceful retreat. A separate two car garage and plenty of storage space make this a jewel of a home in this upscale, historical neighborhood. (id:39198)
