Property Description

Beautiful Craftsman-style bungalow situated on a picturesque corner lot in the heart of Oxford. Surrounded by mature shade trees, this charming and surprisingly spacious single-family home offers timeless character, quality craftsmanship, and affordable easy living, all within walking distance to downtown Oxford, schools, shopping, and local conveniences. A wide brick front porch welcomes you into the formal living room featuring gleaming hardwood floors, a handsome brick fireplace, beautiful built-in cabinetry, and rich original wood trim that showcases the home’s classic Craftsman detail. The formal dining room is equally inviting with hardwood flooring and abundant natural light, creating the perfect setting for entertaining and family gatherings. The bright eat-in kitchen features a breakfast bar, triple window, upgraded stainless steel appliances, stylish laminate countertops, stainless steel sink, cherry cabinetry, and an outstanding built-in cupboard providing both charm and functionality. A rear porch/mudroom offers convenient everyday access to the backyard. Two spacious first-floor bedrooms are serviced by an updated tile hall bath. The unfinished second floor is loaded with potential and already includes rough plumbing for an additional bath, creating an outstanding opportunity for a future primary suite, guest quarters, or expanded living area. Additional features include a full basement with outside access, laundry area, and a solid stone foundation. Efficient utilities include a gas-fired boiler with hot water radiator heat, updated central air conditioning system, and a 200-amp circuit breaker electrical service. Public water and public sewer add to the ease of ownership. Outside, the fenced rear yard offers a beautiful flagstone patio perfect for relaxing, gardening, or outdoor entertaining beneath the canopy of mature shade trees. Rarely does a bungalow of this quality and character become available in such a convenient in-town location. A truly special property combining fine craftsmanship, charm, potential, and affordability.
