    Embrace an effortless coastal lifestyle in the heart of Oxford, where days are shaped by the water and some of the town’s most beloved destinations are just a short stroll from home. Ideally located near beach access, waterfront dining, marinas, tennis and pickleball courts, and a local church, this beautifully refreshed cottage offers a rare combination of walkability, privacy, and Eastern Shore charm. Set on a generous 16,988+/- square foot lot, the 1,200+/- square foot, two bedroom, two full bath residence has been thoughtfully updated with a fresh coastal sensibility. The remodeled kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, while renovated baths, new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, windows and doors, custom window treatments, and efficient ductless heating and cooling create a polished, comfortable interior designed for easy living. A wooden deck extends the living space outdoors, providing a relaxed setting for morning coffee, meals with friends and family, and evening relaxation after a day on the water. The grounds offer room to entertain and enjoy the outdoors, complemented by ample parking and a two story outbuilding with electricity, offering potential with exceptional storage and versatility. Additional improvements include a new hot water heater and French drain installation, while affordable utility costs add to the home’s low maintenance appeal. A history of short term rental income provides additional flexibility for buyers seeking a coastal retreat with income potential. What truly distinguishes this property is its location. From 705 S. Morris Street, the waterfront lifestyle of Oxford is within easy reach. Walk to the beach, stroll to enjoy dinner overlooking the river, head to the marina for an afternoon on the Chesapeake, or spend the morning on the tennis and pickleball courts and many walking paths. Situated in sought after Talbot County, Oxford offers the understated elegance and slower pace that have long made Maryland’s Eastern Shore a coveted destination. Conveniently positioned between Washington, D.C. and the Atlantic Ocean, this inviting cottage presents an opportunity to enjoy a refined yet relaxed coastal escape in one of the Shore’s most charming waterfront towns.
