The Laurels offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of Rockland’s distinctive landmark properties, a 16-suite heritage apartment building on an approximately 32,746 sq. ft. corner site. Built circa 1889–90 as a residence for Robert and Mary Ward, the Queen Anne mansion later served as two schools before being converted to apartments. The property includes five bachelor, seven one-bedroom and four two-bedroom suites, with shared laundry, storage and on-site parking. High ceilings, decorative millwork and a grand central staircase preserve much of the home’s original character. The expansive lawn fronting Rockland Avenue also offers potential future upside, with a subdivision application submitted exploring one or two smaller building lots while retaining The Laurels and substantial parking. Historically enjoying near-full occupancy, this is a unique opportunity to own an income-producing Rockland landmark with stable rental demand, long-term upside and an unbeatable location.
