Rose Cottage — The Home You Discover After a Perfect Day on the Water.
A sailor arriving in Oxford often falls in love twice: first with the town, and then with the home that feels like it belongs to their journey. Rose Cottage is that home — a beautifully renovated, expanded Eastern Shore retreat nestled near marinas, Town Park, restaurants, and the quiet charm of Town Creek.
After tying up at the Tred Avon Yacht Club, or one of several highly rated Oxford marinas, it’s an easy, scenic meander beneath shade trees and by historic cottages to your new home. That’s when Rose Cottage appears — welcoming, warm, and unmistakably connected to the sailing lifestyle.
A Sailor’s Location — Everywhere That Matters.
Rose Cottage sits in one of Oxford’s most desirable corridors:
● Short distance to the Tred Avon Yacht Club — ideal for regattas, junior sailing, or evening socials
● Minutes from Town Park, where sailors relax under the oaks after a day on the water
● Short promenade to Oxford’s marinas, boatyards, and waterfronts
● Close to local restaurants — from casual bites to fine dining
● Serene Town Creek views just a glance away, capturing the quiet beauty that makes Oxford unforgettable
This is the rare home where you can finish a sail and be at your front door in minutes.
Historic Charm, Modern Comfort.
Inside, Rose Cottage blends its original character with a full structural renovation and an 800 sq ft expansion completed in 2011–2012. The extended roofline, new primary bedroom, updated systems, and all-new flooring create a turnkey home that feels fresh, bright, and thoughtfully designed.
The preserved street-facing windows maintain the cottage’s historic personality, while the newer windows and cementitious siding ensure long-term durability.
A Home That Fits the Oxford Lifestyle.
For sailors, cruisers, and anyone who loves the water, Rose Cottage offers something rare: a modernized home in a historic sailing town, near to everything that makes Oxford special.
It’s the kind of place buyers don’t just choose — they discover.
