About A 934 Foul Bay Rd

Designed in 1911 by celebrated architect Samuel Maclure for the Shaw family, this landmark residence seamlessly blends architectural pedigree with modern livability. Tucked down a long, private driveway and well removed from the bustle—yet just a 10-minute walk to Oak Bay Village—it offers the rare feel of a secluded country house in the heart of the city. Set on over half an acre of mature, park-like gardens, the home is remarkable in scale, with over 5,600 sq. ft. of finished living space. True to Maclure’s philosophy that a home should rise naturally from its surroundings, the residence sits proudly on a granite outcropping and foundation. Inside, the home retains many original features, including leaded-glass windows, rewired period light fixtures, stained-glass panels in several rooms, and a cedar exterior believed to have been milled from trees on the estate. A thoughtful Maclure-era renovation added two charming sunrooms and a south-facing deck that captures the afternoon light. Modern updates have been undertaken with care, including a reimagined kitchen, upgraded electrical systems, a new cedar roof, hot tub, yoga/art loft, and a vacant income-generating suite that offers flexibility for multi-generational living or mortgage helper. Offered below its 2025 assessed value, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an architecturally significant property of rare size, provenance, and character. For those who value timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and a tranquil garden escape just steps from the village, this home delivers on every level. (id:36535)
