New property listed in OB North Oak Bay, Oak Bay

I have listed a new property at 1737 Hampshire RD in VICTORIA.

One of Oak Bay's finest family homes - stately yet warm and inviting. Walk thru the hand-crafted front door into something special. In the owners words ... "over our family's formative years we have crafted and adapted our house, yet maintained its charm and features reflected in its age". One of its hallmarks is its 4 well-proportioned bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the top floor - a rarity in many homes. The main floor is full of period features - the living room has a beautiful banquette seat, leaded glass windows, and an old world fireplace; a cozy den with built in book shelves; a beautiful dining room with privacy shutters, a coffered ceiling, gas fireplace and a picture window with views to the extensive back yard; and finally, a gorgeously renovated kitchen - Decor gas range, wide plank oak floor and honed granite counter tops. Downstairs is home to an office, family room, a 5th bedroom and large laundry room. To top it all off? An incredible 9950 ft lot. An impressive home

This is it - the quintessential Oak Bay Character Home located in a neighbourhood that is central to everything. Its close to Willows Beach, shopping, schools and Parks;what more could you ask for! This 1911 - 1300 sq ft home has been wonderfully updated yet retains the charm from decades past. On the main floor you will find a modern kitchen, a dining room, a living room (complete with gas fireplace) and a sun room (which is currently being used as a 3rd bedroom)looking over a beautiful back yard ). Walk upstairs and enjoy the 2 bedrooms (the Master has a Juliet balcony waiting for some flower boxes). As well, theres ample room for a study area and some significant storage. The basement is large and ideally suited for storage or a workshop

Same owner for 69 years and one of the last remaining untouched Arts and Crafts home in Victoria. Grand formal living room with natural fir wainscotting, cozy inglenook with fireplace, separate formal dining room with built-in cabinetry, oak and fir floors throughout. Three bedrooms; master is huge with den alcove, 4pce bath and a kitchen untouched since the 1940s. Classic design, original decor with recent upgrades: roof, electrical, plumbing, gas furnace, fireplace and hot water heater. Full basement with high ceiling offering much potential for development. A great project with architectural significance. *Note: Vintage woodstove in kitchen not included*.
