About this home

Downtown Oxford. Offering more than 4,000 square feet of living space, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Oxford history while adding your own vision and finishing touches.

This grand residence features soaring ceilings, original architectural details, hardwood floors, and multiple oversized living spaces filled with natural light. Portions of the home have already undergone substantial renovation, including a beautifully updated chef's kitchen designed to impress with modern finishes, abundant workspace, and an ideal layout for entertaining.

Throughout the home, you'll find a unique blend of restored spaces and original rooms awaiting transformation. Some areas retain their historic charm and are ready for cosmetic updates, while others are mid-renovation and offer the perfect canvas for customization and value-add potential.

Bring your vision and restore this historic gem to its full potential. Property to be sold as-is.

104 Parker Street

Sold Jan 9, 2026
Sold for $81k more1,093 sq ft smaller$43 higher per sq ftBoth need significant updates

This home on Parker Street is a classic ranch that sold for a much higher price per square foot despite needing its own set of cosmetic updates. While it offers a more manageable single-story layout, 205 E Front Street provides significantly more space and a high-end kitchen already in place for a much lower entry price. Both properties were sold as-is, but the home for sale offers a larger canvas for the price.

Bottom line
The home for sale is a strong option for those looking to gain equity through renovation compared to this sold listing.

Sold Jun 10, 2025
Sold for $271k more375 sq ft larger$50 higher per sq ftFully renovated luxury

This property on College Street shows what a fully restored historic grand residence in Oxford can command. It features high-end finishes, a massive wrap-around porch, and updated systems that justify its much higher price point. 205 E Front Street is a similar style of home but represents the 'before' stage of this renovation journey, requiring significant work to reach this level of finish.

Bottom line
This sold listing serves as a great example of the potential value 205 E Front Street could reach once the restoration is complete.

Compared to the project at 205 E Front Street, you are paying a premium for the convenience of a finished home and extensive outbuildings.

Bottom line
The home for sale is a much more affordable option for those willing to put in the work to customize a historic home.
