A sense of whimsey and a fine eye for detail surely inspired the vibe of this 3,500-square-foot traditional home with its most advantageous location on Town Creek in scenic Oxford. The charm of an heirloom quality property emanates from this three-bedroom home. The vibe starts with a gracious front porch with structural column detail. The perfect place for rocking chairs and a cup or two of morning coffee.

A sunny foyer conveys visitors along dark hardwood floors to an exquisite formal dining room on the right. Those dark floors provide the perfect balance to the abundance of light found throughout, resulting from its mindful design that incorporates many windows.
“What I love about this house is that it was designed to truly take advantage of the water views from both inside and out,” says Listing Agent, Debbie Lipscomb. “You have beautiful vistas from the kitchen, living room, and primary suite. The rear screened porch, as well as front and side porches give you extra living space in the summer months to enjoy the interaction with Town Creek. There are thoughtful touches throughout, such as a breakfast bar in one of the guest rooms and en suite bedrooms that make it ideal for gracious entertaining. The double lot allows for added privacy, which is rare in Historic Oxford.”
Other highlights of its modern construction include a gourmet kitchen with a precious eat-in area overlooking the water. The all-white and bright custom cabinetry is offset with a contrasting center island of muted periwinkle and seating for four. The room’s upscale, glass-front refrigerator, apron sink, and white quartz countertops denote a special experience in the most common of rooms.
This level of the home offers a generous living room with a gorgeous fireplace and access to the beautifully manicured grounds and waterfront, and a family room with plenty of space for a dedicated workstation.
Upstairs, the home offers a sunny primary suite with separate seating area overlooking the water and a fabulous private bath. There are two additional bedrooms on this floor, each with the convenience of an en suite bath.

Early evenings are the perfect time to enjoy the Oxford lifestyle from an abundantly charming screened-in back porch. Just switch out the morning’s coffee for an evening’s aperitif and take in the great views to the property’s deep-water private pier with multiple slips.
