Description
Discover the charm of 1052 Hampshire Rd, nestled among multi-million-dollar homes in one of Oak Bay's most sought-after locations. This 2,164 Sqft 1927-built 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers 1800 sqft of finished living space. Original features like built-in bookcases, a dining room buffet, and stunning fir floors blend seamlessly with modern updates. The partially finished basement includes a cozy family room, bedroom, full bathroom, and plenty of storage. Ceiling heights in some areas range from 6 to 7 feet. Outside, the beautifully landscaped garden is your private oasis, offering incredible privacy. There’s also incredible potential here—a builder estimates that lifting the house to create a full-height basement, adding 18-24 inches, and building a small laneway home could cost between $250,000 and $300,000. Permits and approvals from Oak Bay would be required. This is more than just a home—it's an opportunity to create your dream lifestyle in an unbeatable location.
