Property Description
Set among 3.83 acres of thoughtfully landscaped grounds, the home makes a memorable first impression. A brick walkway winds toward the covered front porch, inviting you to slow down before ever stepping through the door. Beyond it, original character and thoughtful updates come together in a home that feels warm, collected, and wonderfully timeless.
Inside, hardwood floors lead into the main living room, where a fireplace creates a natural gathering place on cool evenings. Just beyond is a second fireside living space, framed by built-in shelving and filled with natural light from sliding glass doors opening onto the brick patio. Offering wonderful flexibility, this room can easily serve as an additional bedroom, library, home office, or cozy den. A full bath with a walk-in shower is also conveniently located on the main level.
And then there is the kitchen—the true heart of this home.
Rich brick floors run beneath exposed wooden beams, while crisp white cabinetry brings a lightness to the room. At the center, a butcher-block-topped island invites everything from quiet morning coffee to evenings spent preparing dinner with friends. A copper farmhouse sink adds warmth, while a professional-style six-burner gas range makes the space as functional as it is beautiful.
Another fireplace stands between the kitchen and dining area, a reminder of the home's 19th-century beginnings and a striking centerpiece for everyday life. Exposed beams continue into the dining space, where French doors open onto the back deck and blur the line between indoors and out. Just beyond is the utility and laundry room, thoughtfully tucked alongside the main living spaces.
Upstairs, two bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, including a charming bedroom with its own fireplace. The second-floor bath feels almost made for slow mornings and long evenings, with brick flooring underfoot, a double vanity, glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and a classic clawfoot tub that feels perfectly at home within these historic walls.
Outside, the property unfolds into nearly four acres of established landscaping and country surroundings. Spend mornings beneath the covered front porch, summer afternoons on the back deck, or evenings gathered on the brick patio. A barn and shed add the practicality expected of country living, while a small detached building offers a special space for an art studio, writing, working from home, or simply retreating somewhere quiet.
Beyond the property, you're within easy reach of Charlottesville, the beauty and endless trails of Shenandoah National Park, and some of the area's scenic rivers and streams, where days can be spent trout fishing and enjoying the best of the Virginia countryside. The property is also just 1.5 hours from DC.
The property's rich history includes its connection to Lewis Churchill Morris, a Virginia native, bricklayer, and Civil War veteran who lived here with his wife, Jane, and their family. A lasting piece of that history remains today, with two inscriptions from the Morris era still visible on the home's sandstone exterior chimney—a remarkable reminder of the generations who have called this property home.
Morris' Oath isn't simply a place to live. It's the kind of home where coffee is better on the porch, dinner lingers a little longer around the table, fires are lit when the evenings turn cool, and the beauty of an old house becomes part of everyday life.
