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.
