Nestled in Victoria’s historic Rockland neighbourhood, Cadence on Despard is a modern architectural statement set against a backdrop of heritage and prestige. Conceived by Zebra Design in a contemporary interpretation of Mid-Century Modern ideals, this residence embodies balance, proportion and light—each space thoughtfully composed for both daily living and sophisticated entertaining. From the street, the home’s clean lines and expansive glazing announce its modernist pedigree, while professionally landscaped ¼-acre grounds frame the property in seasonal colour and privacy. Inside, the main level unfolds across 2,692 SF of soaring volumes and warm natural finishes. Fourteen-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace create a sense of openness and calm, while walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen combines form and function with European oak cabinetry, integrated premium appliances and a generous island with breakfast bar. Adjoining living and dining areas flow seamlessly to outdoor patios, ideal for al fresco dining or summer gatherings. The primary suite, quietly positioned at the rear of the main floor, offers a private retreat with an oversized walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite complete with double vanity, soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower. A den with gas fireplace, dedicated laundry and mudroom complete the level. Upstairs, a media lounge with custom wet bar extends the living experience, perfect for family movie nights or weekend entertaining. Two additional bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, provide comfort and flexibility for family or guests. Located just minutes from Oak Bay Avenue, Cook Street Village, and the Inner Harbour, Cadence on Despard is more than a residence—it is an architectural experience in one of Victoria’s most coveted enclaves. A rare opportunity to live with design, light and landscape in perfect harmony. (id:24212)
