Back on the market! No fault of the seller, previous buyers were unable to secure financing. Their loss is your opportunity to own this breathtaking Victorian-era home! Welcome to 26 Oak St! a breathtaking Victorian-era foursquare home in the heart of uptown Roxboro. Originally owned by Dr. William D. Merritt, a celebrated 19th-century physician and state senator, this home is a piece of local history. Even the famous Merritt Commons, Roxboro's hub for concerts and events, was named in his honor! This beautifully preserved home blends historic charm with modern comforts. Featuring six spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths, you'll be captivated by its pine floors, eight coal fireplaces with handcrafted mantels and mirrors, claw-foot tubs, and intricately crafted trim and doors. You'll also find stunning handmade beadboard ceilings and trims, an updated kitchen, and a cozy screened porch for enjoying peaceful evenings. Step outside into your own private oasis complete with a high-end oxygen pool, gas firepit, raised garden beds, fruit trees, outdoor grill, playground, and a large, detached workshop—all within a fully fenced yard designed for relaxation and entertainment. Nestled among other historic homes on a picturesque tree-lined street, this home is a short walk from Roxboro's lively uptown, filled with charming shops, local restaurants, and breweries. Nearby Hyco and Mayo Lakes offer boating and fishing, while the Kirby Cultural Arts Complex adds a rich cultural touch with local arts and performances. 30 minutes drive to Durham and a quick hop to US 501. Don't miss the chance to own a stunning blend of history, comfort, and modern luxury- a true gem and a piece of Roxboro's rich heritage!
