A distinguished Rockcliffe home with nearly a century of history, 170 Acacia pairs the grace of an English country cottage with warm, beautifully scaled family living. Built in 1926, its stone façade, steep rooflines and leaded-glass entrance introduce interiors filled with character and natural light. A wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcases anchor the living room; the generous formal dining room opens to a window-wrapped sunroom overlooking the garden. The warm wood kitchen features granite counters, an L-shaped island, walk-in pantry and sunny eat-in area with built-in storage. Upstairs, the primary offers a reading nook, wall of closets and ensuite with heated floors, alongside two bedrooms, full bath and laundry. The top floor adds a fourth bedroom, and full bath. The spacious lower level offers further versatility. Outside, an exceptionally private east-facing garden, deck, interlock patio, attached garage and charming shed complete this treasured Rockcliffe property.
