This iconic residence, designed in 1911 by celebrated architect Samuel Maclure for the Shaw family, is a fine example of Arts and Crafts architecture. Hidden down a long private driveway and well away from the bustle—yet just a 10-minute walk to Oak Bay Village—this extraordinary property offers a rare blend of privacy, heritage character, and walkability. Surrounded by tall trees and mature, south-facing gardens, it sits on over half an acre in a peaceful, secluded setting. Perched on a granite outcropping with a granite foundation—true to Maclure’s philosophy that homes should rise naturally from the landscape—the expansive residence features a cedar exterior believed to be milled from trees on the original estate. Originally a 1912 Maclure bungalow, the home was significantly renovated 25 to 30 years later, adding two light-filled sunrooms and a south-facing deck that enhance its livability while respecting its architectural integrity. Inside, the home is elegant and spacious, with wide halls, generous doorways, high ceilings, and leaded glass windows throughout. Stained glass—a hallmark of Maclure’s work—graces the stair landing and two bathrooms. Original rewired light fixtures remain in place, adding authenticity and charm. The steep hipped roofline, expansive dormers, wraparound second-storey sun porch, and extensive timber detailing reflect a harmonious blend of Arts and Crafts, Tudor Revival, Chalet, and Georgian influences. Major upgrades include a reimagined kitchen, modernized electrical system, and new cedar shake roof. Other features include a garden hot tub, a loft perfect for yoga or creative pursuits, and a separate income-generating lower-level suite with its own entrance. Ideally located in one of Oak Bay’s most desirable neighbourhoods and close to schools, beaches, and village amenities, this is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Victoria’s architectural heritage—offering timeless elegance, historic pedigree and everyday comfort.
