Tucked away on 10.9 gated acres just north of Victoria’s core, 1708 Woodsend Drive is the kind of estate that feels pulled from another era — one where timeless design, artisanal finishes, and unshakeable privacy converge in singular fashion.
But make no mistake: while this estate speaks with the quiet confidence of old-world elegance, its bones and systems are anything but dated.
Fully rebuilt in 2024 by White Wolf Homes, this seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom manor fuses traditional craftsmanship with contemporary precision.
From the outset, the home makes a striking impression. A winding drive gives way to 12-foot mahogany entry doors that open onto a grand foyer framed by 20-foot ceilings and marble-inlaid stone floors.
What follows is a graceful progression through richly layered spaces, where every turn reveals something new: exotic hardwoods underfoot, carved stone fireplaces, a bespoke music room, a vibrant sunroom, and a fully equipped home theatre.
Specs
The main floor kitchen is tailored for serious entertainers and culinary pros alike, featuring a full Wolf and Miele appliance suite, an oversized island, and a dedicated butler’s kitchen with a built-in coffee station. And while the central gathering spaces speak to hosting at scale, the private quarters offer a full retreat from the day-to-day. In the primary suite, two magazine-worthy walk-in closets sit opposite a Ritz-style ensuite — and a sunroom designed for quiet mornings or breezy nights.
Connected via an elegant glass breezeway is a two-bedroom guest suite, ideal for extended family, visitors, or live-in support. The detailing here matches that of the main residence — a testament to the integrity of (and consideration given to) the rebuild.
Outside, the property unfolds like a private resort. A full-size professional tennis court and large outdoor pool anchor the recreational side of the grounds, while a restored pool house and sculpted terraces create space for entertaining, lounging, or sunset cocktails. A custom fire pit area rounds out the outdoor offerings, drawing the eye to the estate’s generous south-facing exposure and carefully preserved natural backdrop.
