Classic Heritage Residence: The Griffith By Henry Sandman Griffith

“The Griffith,” Designed and built in 1910 by Henry Sandman Griffith in Oak Bay, Victoria, BC, Canada, is a stunning heritage residence. The prominent British architect was responsible for the design of Spencer Castle and the Vancouver Board of Trade Building. This home is a heritage-designated landmark offering over 7,500 square feet on three levels with sweeping ocean and mountain views.

In 2008, Mike Miller of Abstract Developments meticulously renovated and restored the grand home, maintaining the extremely high level of detail and craftsmanship of the era in which it was built. This incredible home won several awards for Mr. Miller and his company, including the Gold CARE Awards 2009, Silver CARE Awards 2009, and Gold Georgie Awards 2009.

The Griffith heritage residence is on the market for $3,595,000 (BC prices are sky-high, especially in the Vancouver, Victoria, and Okanagan areas).
