A landmark waterfront estate in Uplands, 3175 Beach Dr "Riffington" is a rare offering of architectural & cultural significance. Designed in 1913 by Philip A. Jullien as the original Uplands show home, the residence reflects Tudor Revival architecture with a French Renaissance–style music room. Thoughtfully sited to capture ocean views and Mt. Baker, the home rests on park-like grounds inspired by the Olmsted vision. Riffington has been featured in Western Living, hosted the British Royal Family on multiple occasions & served as the U.S. Consul’s residence (1928–1942). The 4 level main home spans 12,400 sq ft w/ 9 beds, 7 baths, 10 fireplaces, a two-storey reception hall, libraries, sunrooms, and ocean-facing patios. The estate also includes a carriage house, seaside cottage, waterfront pavilion, private dock w/ large boat moorage, veg garden, Japanese pond & grounds minutes from the Royal Victoria Yacht Club—an irreplaceable coastal legacy in one of Canada’s most prestigious enclaves.
