512 Raleigh Road · Oxford, NC 27565

This sold listing on Hancock Street is an extensively renovated Craftsman bungalow featuring modern systems, restored plaster, coffered ceilings, and a large custom kitchen. By comparison, 512 Raleigh Road offers similar historic charm and footprint but is essentially an unfinished renovation project requiring full kitchen and bath remodels. While the home for sale is priced considerably lower per square foot, the difference in finish level and move-in readiness between the two is substantial. Buyers will appreciate the character of 512 Raleigh Road, but must budget for significant improvements to match the quality seen here.

Both properties represent large, classic turn-of-the-century homes needing TLC in Oxford, but they differ in current state and execution. This sold listing on Kingsbury Street had dated retro finishes, carpet over hardwoods, and relies on older boiler heating and window units. 512 Raleigh Road has already benefited from key structural milestones, including updated electrical, replacement windows, and clean interior drywall prep. While 512 Raleigh Road is priced slightly higher, its cleaner interior slate and slightly larger footprint make it an appealing alternative for buyers looking to customize.

This sold home on Parker Street offers a 1960s ranch design with exposed beams, wood-paneled living areas, and an operational, retro-finished interior. While it also exhibits dated elements such as retro tile bathrooms and older pine kitchen cabinetry, it is immediately livable. In contrast, 512 Raleigh Road brings classic two-story turn-of-the-century architecture with high ceilings, but it requires immediate major renovations in the kitchen and bathrooms. The steep discount on 512 Raleigh Road directly reflects the sweat equity and construction required to bring it to comparable comfort.
