The Oakland House is one of the many ageless dwellings featured in this year's upcoming Home and Garden Tour. It overlooks the bay and is characterized by a wonderful garden, making it a great visit and a true embodiment of the region’s enduring charm.

An owner found a piece of newspaper in the walls during renovations suggesting that the architectural origins predate 1852. The house was built into the side of a hill as a one and a half storey house including a central chimney that was positioned in the middle of the houses framing.

In 1947 the roof was lifted, the chimney and small rooms downstairs were removed, opening the space inside the house. Newer renovations include a kitchen extension, followed by adding two guest bedrooms upstairs. Guests love these rooms that look out over the bay and into the Garden. The property now features a beautiful private garden which will be available to see on the tour. We hope to see you this weekend!
