This beautiful 1870s Victorian home was once a boarding house as were most of the houses on the Strand. After the need for boarding houses and vacationers disappeared, permanent residents moved in and renovated the boarding houses into family homes. This home, originally called Fairview, was home to many families. It remained largely how it was in the 1870s until 1980 when the owner added the back bedroom, a family room and back porch. Then in the 1990s the next family moved in and gutted the entire house, re-sided the home and completely re-stabilized the foundation and interior by sistering the studs and adding metal support throughout the main house. The only original floors are in two of the upstairs bedrooms. Plans were made for a beautiful home but 15 years later, the restoration had not been completed. The Owners purchased the home in 2016. The rear 1980s portion had some interior drywall, heat, and scant electric and plumbing. The rest of the home was completely unfinished with only studs and construction electric. This home has 4-5 bedrooms and baths: a downstairs bedroom with a built in murphy bed and bath, three additional en-suite bedrooms on the second floor and a bedroom/storage area and powder room on the third floor. The house also has an elevator, mudroom, office, board and batten wainscoting, all hardwood floors, living room with gas fireplace, dining room, kitchen with wood burning fireplace, custom Seville cabinetry, granite island and countertops, full pantry, double ovens and heated Travertine stone floors. The outside includes a big backyard, uncommon in Oxford, a second rear driveway and newly re-sided two car garage with new doors and openers, restored plane spotting shed, professionally landscaped front gardens, with old boxwoods and hydrangeas, front porch and screened rear porch, and a separate furnace room off the front driveway.
