Welcome to Historic Oak Grove c.1848, one of Montgomery County’s most significant and finely crafted Federal-style manor homes. Constructed for Ignatius Waters, Jr. on land originally granted to his family in 1763, this 19th-century masterpiece stands as an enduring emblem of regional architectural heritage. Set back on over 4 partially wooded acres, the home is surrounded by a canopy of rare, ancient old-growth trees, offering an extraordinary blend of historical prestige, privacy, and modern comfort.
Built with common-bond brickwork, flat-brick arches, and a slate roof anchored by internal end chimneys, Oak Grove showcases classic proportions and timeless detail.

Dual Staircases & Fireplaces: Designed for seamless movement and grand entertaining, the layout includes dual staircases and multiple wood-burning and gas fireplaces to warm the living spaces.
Gourmet Kitchen: Modernized for culinary pursuits, the country kitchen is appointed with custom 42-inch cherry cabinetry, upgraded granite countertops, and premium finishes while retaining its historic warmth.
