Designed in 1911 by Samuel Maclure for the Shaw family, this landmark home blends architectural pedigree with modern livability. Hidden down a long driveway and well away from the bustle—yet just a 10-minute walk to Oak Bay Village—it offers the feel of a secluded country house in the heart of the city. Set on over half an acre of mature gardens, the expansive residence sits on a granite outcropping and foundation, in keeping with Maclure’s philosophy that the home should rise from the land. Elegant and spacious, it retains original leaded glass windows, rewired light fittings, stained glass windows in several rooms, and a cedar exterior believed to have been milled from the estate. A later Maclure-era renovation added two sunrooms and a south-facing deck. Features include a reimagined kitchen, upgraded electrical, new cedar roof, hot tub, yoga/art loft, and an income-generating suite. For those who value timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and a tranquil garden escape in the city.
