About this home
Some homes surprise you before you even step inside. Follow the driveway toward 238 Park Road, and the distinctive rooflines, natural stonework, and woodland setting hint that this is no ordinary Colonial. Step through the front door, and the surprise continues. There's an immediate warmth here, a sense of home created by rich Brazilian hardwood floors, beautiful craftsmanship, and inviting rooms filled with natural light. At the heart of the house, the kitchen and living room flow together, with a generous granite-topped island, custom cabinetry, and a striking stone fireplace. There's room to gather, relax, and make the space your own. French doors open to connected stone patios, where gardens, mature trees, and changing seasons become part of everyday life. A first-floor bedroom, currently an office, sits near a full bath. Upstairs, two spacious bedroom suites each have a private bath; the primary overlooks the grounds and offers a walk-in closet and beautifully appointed bath. The surprises don't end there. A detached two-car garage has a finished upper level with office and fitness spaces, heated and cooled by a mini-split. Beyond it, the 1.6-acre property opens to lawns, woodland, and a former paddock with rustic fencing. Whether you love gardening, working from home, entertaining friends, or simply being outdoors, this property invites you to live a little differently. All in Oxford, with its appealing property tax rate and peaceful country character.
Extensively rebuilt and expanded in 2008-09, this 1931 Colonial combines original character with substantial updates. The interior has been freshly painted throughout. Brazilian hardwood flooring runs through both levels, complemented by decorative tile flooring with granite inlays in the kitchen and beautifully tiled bathroom floors and walls. The open kitchen features an oversized granite island, abundant custom cabinetry, a five-burner gas cooktop with hood, tile backsplash, pantry, and a new smart convection wall oven (2025). The adjoining living area offers built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, recessed lighting, and a stone fireplace with wood-burning insert; the chimney was recently inspected and cleaned. The flexible open floor plan accommodates multiple seating or dining arrangements, while French doors lead to interconnected stone patios and landscaped outdoor gathering areas. A hallway separates the main living space from the first-floor bedroom, currently used as an office, and adjacent full bath with shower and linen closet. Upstairs are two bedroom suites, each with a private bath. The primary suite features five windows, views across the former paddock, a walk-in closet, double vanity, separate toilet compartment, and spacious tiled shower with bench. The second suite includes a tub/shower bath. Second-floor laundry adds convenience. Pull-down stairs access a full attic with windows at both ends and seasonal storage space. The detached two-car garage offers extra space for tools and equipment, separate 50-amp electrical service, and a finished upper loft arranged as office and fitness areas, with its own heating/cooling mini-split. A separate shed provides additional outdoor storage. The 1.6-acre grounds include two relatively level lawn areas, a former paddock, mature trees, rustic fencing, and extensive stone walls and patios. Recent tree removal has opened up sunlight and views around the house. Practical features include separate central air systems for each floor, oil heat on the first floor, propane heat upstairs, a private well and septic, and a new water heater (2025). The basement is unfinished and used for mechanical equipment.
Offer Deadline 5PM 6/3 ** Health Dept. reports young septic (08') & well (18')** Situated away from the road, this stunning home was completely rebuilt in 09' and features elegant updates. The spacious living room showcases cherry hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a striking stone fireplace, and a full wall of built-in bookcases and cabinetry. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, highlighted by an 86"x51" center island with pendant lighting, floor-to-ceiling mocha-glazed cabinets, granite countertops, crown molding, and exquisite tile flooring with granite accents. A classic subway tile backsplash with decorative accents runs behind the 5-burner gas cooktop and hood all along with a spacious pantry for storage. A main-level bedroom (or office!) offers peaceful views and sits adjacent to a large full bathroom for convenience. A beautifully crafted staircase with custom wood and wrought iron banisters leads upstairs to a floor covered with Brazilian tiger wood flooring. Up here you'll find a spacious guest room with it's own full bathroom for privacy, a convenient laundry area, and the primary suite. This luxurious suite includes a gas fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, granite double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower. The 24x28 Garage includes an upgraded electrical, insulation, and an upstairs room that could be used as an office, gym, or more! This property features private patios and an expansive escape. It's a true oasis!
Offer Deadline 5PM 6/3 ** Health department pulled & approved permits suggest that the septic may be from 2008, and the well may be from 2018. Original year built - 1931, completely rebuilt from studs in 2009. The central air does need servicing/repair. There are two central air condensers, one for each floor.
