238 Park RoadOxford, CT 06478Price: $619,000

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.
