About 2311 Rockwood Rd
Welcome to the Moyaone Reserve—your private nature oasis just outside the city.
Nestled on 5 acres of serene, wooded land, this architect-enhanced home offers 2,786 square feet of peaceful living. Lovingly maintained by its original owners and thoughtfully updated with recent pre-market improvements, this unique property combines architectural character, size, and setting in one of the most sought-after, nature-centered communities in the region.
Originally a barn, the home has been expanded and reimagined by one of the owners—an architect—to create a spacious retreat that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Distinctive wood accents, soaring ceilings, stained glass, and abundant natural light give this home a character all its own. This home was one of the contributing buildings in the Historic preservation designation that was awarded to Moyaone Reserve in 2020.
The original barn section features dramatic vaulted ceilings and an expansive loft perfect for a studio, home office, or flexible living area (the loft got an upgrade in 2025 with structural flooring augmentation and stylish, low-maintenance LVP to match the main level bedrooms). The spiral staircase adds so much charm, but the loft can be accessed from a traditional staircase in the primary suite as well. Skylights and a full wall of French doors + floor-to-ceiling windows in the open concept living and dining room brings the outdoors in. The wrap-around patio and retractable screens for the French doors would make for amazing indoor-outdoor entertaining in the summer! A vintage built-in bookcase in the living room still has a working desk feature, room for all your books, and doors to hide the other practical items you don’t want on display. The open-concept living room includes a traditional wood-burning fireplace with stove insert and a full bathroom, with more stained glass and vintage appeal, adds extra flexibility for guests.
The semi-formal, open dining area has easy flow into the updated kitchen, which features a brand-new Smart electric range (2025), solid wood cabinetry with contemporary white cabinets, black hardware and soft-close drawers, a new sink and solid surface countertops (with a bonus butcher block countertop —repurposed from a bowling alley! Kitchen remodeled in 2023). A breakfast area directly off the kitchen, as well as a walk-in pantry, and adjacent utility/laundry room with front loading washer and dryer add extra convenience — not to mention ease of bringing in groceries from the car or kicking off your snow boots in the winter.
Two spacious bedrooms sit across from a full bathroom with a mid-century flair and a recently re-enameled tub with fresh hardware (2025). The primary suite offers cathedral ceilings, multiple closets (four to be exact), built-in drawers, and charming window seats with storage —plush new carpeting adds comfort underfoot (2025). The ensuite primary bathroom is spacious and well-appointed, with separate shower and tub and once again, beautiful views of nature.
The lower-level recreation room includes a freestanding wood stove and another glass slider leading directly to the yard—ideal for cozy evenings or more relaxed indoor-outdoor entertaining.
