realtor's description

Exceptional setting w/TWO buildings, one large single family home & a carriage house/oversized garage just steps away. Quietly positioned on an exclusive cul-de sac of just 3 homes & directly across from the iconic Government House grounds. One of Rockland's most discreet & coveted enclaves. Surrounded by majestic trees, manicured gardens, protected parklands & a short stroll to Craigdarroch Castle or waterfront, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion in the heart of the city. The charming character home has been lovingly maintained, blending enduring craftsmanship w/warmth & comfort. A substantial detached over height garage/carriage house w/a self-contained bachelor suite presents endless possibilities—guests, studio, home office, multigenerational living, or extra income. Properties in this remarkable lane are seldom available. A true urban sanctuary defined by privacy, prestige & an irreplaceable location—a rare chance to own a piece of Rockland’s most treasured streetscape.

(CMHC Rental Market Survey, October 2025; CMHC Rental Market Report 2025, table 6.0 (rents on units that turned over to a new tenant); trend: Statistics Canada.)
