Open House 1/10/26 12-2pm; Continue to show for backup. Welcome to Oxford, a storybook town where quiet streets, salt-tinged summer air, and friendly waves from neighbors create an unmistakable sense of charm. Nestled along the peaceful Tred Avon River, this beloved waterfront community invites you to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures—sunset strolls by the marina, weekend ferry rides aboard the Oxford-Bellevue, ice cream from Scottish Highland Creamery, or relaxing afternoons at the waterfront park watching sailboats drift by. With local restaurants, tennis and pickleball courts, and boutiques just a short walk away, Oxford offers a lifestyle that is both relaxed and refined. This four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home sits on a generous in-town lot framed by mature perennial landscaping. Classic double porches welcome you and hint at the thoughtful design inside. Warm handscraped hardwood floors flow through a light-filled living room featuring high ceilings, a fireplace with built-in bookcases, and a sunny bump-out window—perfect for a reading nook or morning coffee. The open-concept main level balances flow and function. A chef’s kitchen boasts 42-inch cabinets with display shelving, bluestone counters reminiscent of the river, stainless steel appliances, and a six-burner commercial range. Dual breakfast bars offer casual dining, while the adjacent dining area includes a wet bar with beverage fridge and French doors opening to the front porch. At the rear of the home, a vaulted breakfast room with skylights and charming built-in bench seating (with hidden storage) connects to the backyard. A nearby laundry room adds convenience, and a main-level office with French doors provides a quiet workspace. There are two primary bedroom options. The first, located on the main floor, overlooks the backyard and features a walk-in closet and spa-like en suite with soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and double vanity in warm stone tile. Upstairs, the second primary bedroom offers a cathedral ceiling, river view, two closets, and access to a full bath shared with two additional bedrooms. Extra storage includes a pull-down attic and built-in eave space. Outdoors, the spacious yard is complete with raised garden beds and a storage shed—ideal for weekend projects or growing herbs and vegetables. There is also potential for an attached garage. A transferable flood insurance policy at just $648 per year provides added peace of mind. Blending quality finishes, flexible spaces, and timeless coastal appeal, this home embodies comfort, character, and connection. Whether you seek a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, Oxford is ready to welcome you home.
