  • A large two-story house at 309 College Street, featuring white siding, a dark roof, and multiple chimneys. It boasts a wide front porch with decorative columns and steps leading to a paved walkway. Surrounded by green shrubs and tall trees, it exudes classic Oxford charm.

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ (Lower by $47)

    • Condition: ⬇️ (More dated finishes)

    This property on College Street is another great example of Oxford’s historic charm, but it feels a bit more traditional compared to the “showplace” nature of 221 Gilliam Street. While it offers a large footprint, the kitchen and finishes at the home for sale appear more high-end and cohesive. The inclusion of a pool and a fully functional guest house at 221 Gilliam Street makes it a more comprehensive estate.

    🟡 The home for sale is a significant step up in luxury and utility, making the price difference a reasonable trade-off.

  • Nestled amidst tall trees, the white two-story house at 303 High Street boasts a front porch adorned with an American flag. Set on a large, sunny lawn under the clear blue Oxford sky, it epitomizes timeless charm and classic elegance.

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬆️ (Higher by $22)

    • Condition: ⚖️ (Both beautifully renovated)

    This sold listing on High Street is a stunning 1842 build that shows how well-maintained historic homes are valued in Oxford. While it sold for less overall, its price per square foot was actually higher than 221 Gilliam Street. The home for sale offers significantly more space and the added luxury of a pool and guest house, which justifies its higher total price point.

    🟡 221 Gilliam Street appears fairly priced when you account for the massive square footage and the premium amenities like the pool.

  • A large, two-story white house at 316 Main Street boasts a spacious wraparound porch with brick columns and steps leading to a double-door entrance. Nestled in Oxford, the yard is neatly landscaped, surrounded by trees under a clear blue sky.

    • Condition: ⬇️ (Updated but less grand)

    The home on Main Street offers a more modern Craftsman feel with recent updates like vinyl plank flooring and a refreshed kitchen. However, it lacks the grand Neo-Classical scale and the expansive 1-acre lot found at 221 Gilliam Street. When you consider the detached guest house and the sheer architectural presence of the home for sale, the price gap reflects a move into a higher tier of luxury.

    🟡 If you are looking for a true estate with a guest house, 221 Gilliam Street is positioned well compared to smaller updated homes.
