Front yard anchored by solid granite walls and pillars that frame the property
Built in 1922-25, the home was designed and constructed by prominent local contractor William James âBillyâ Drysdale (1886â1956) for himself and his wife Helen.
A skilled Victoria-born builder active in the early 20th century, Drysdale was known for crafting high-quality residences that blended Edwardian elegance with Arts & Crafts detailing.
This residence, one of his notable personal achievements, stands as a refined and well-executed example of late Edwardian Four-Square architecture.
Extensive granite accents appear in the foundation, entry stairs, and structural elements, underscoring the homeâs exceptional quality and permanence.
Signature period details include wide overhanging eaves, intricate woodwork, multi-paned windows, and the impressive porte cochère
A covered drive-through entrance that adds both grandeur and practical convenience while providing access to the detached garage at the rear.
Inside, rich quarter-sawn woodwork creates a warm, character-filled atmosphere.
Highlights include handsome wainscoting, detailed mouldings, elegant herringbone hardwood floors, leaded and stained-glass windows and much more.
