240 Mariposa Ave Rockcliffe Park
Please note that this property is sold.
Welcome to 240 Mariposa Avenue and this charming English country cottage that sits handsomely in the heart of the Old Village of Rockcliffe Park. A traditional home in every sense, this is a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to own a piece of Rockcliffe history. Originally designed in 1932 by architects Burgess and MacLean for noted Canadian Northern explorer Dr. Charles Camsell, this residence has remained in the family since its construction and is an excellent example of 1930’s architecture. It was built on land that was originally part of the Keefer Estate and later known as “Connaught Commons” a small section in the Village named after the Duke of Connaught.
The home’s exterior features a hipped and gabled roof with a brick chimney and exterior stucco finish. The first level of the interior of this charming abode boasts strong and dramatic principal rooms with high ceilings and well scaled trim. The formal living area’s focal point is a dramatic stone, wood burning fireplace and easy access to the study with out the garden and terrace. The dining room is well scaled with a beautiful bay window that allows natural light to flood into the interior and embraces the landscape of the rear garden.
The second level is generously proportioned with four good sized bedrooms and two baths. The attic on the third floor has adequate ceiling height and may be an option to develop in future.
This home has never come to the market and is an unique opportunity to own a true part of Rockcliffe Park’s heritage.
