The 1909 Baiss House    $759,900

We are proud to present this heritage classic by Samuel Maclure, British Columbia’s finest residential architect. This compact hip-gabled Bernese-Oberland chalet was designed and built to Arts and Crafts ideals for Mrs. James Baiss in 1909. Ideal for its urban setting this home has been well maintained with newer roof, re-pointed chimney, gas furnace, heritage paint colours (by heritage consultant Stewart Stark). Retaining much of the character with beautiful woodwork, gorgeous stained glass and fireplaces of the period. The home is centrally located on a quiet street in Fernwood/Rockland border backing onto Stadacona Park, one of Victoria's’ hidden gems. Currently being used as a legal up and down duplex, it is perfect for owner-occupied main and lower floors or awaiting the future owner to easily convert the usage back to an elegant single-family home of yesteryear. Wonderful west facing back yard. MLS 305210
