About this home

A true century home set on an exceptional 3.5-acre riverfront lot, this heritage property offers 420 feet of river frontage and the kind of scale and character that is genuinely rare in today’s market. Connected to town services with natural gas ducted heating system and a ductless heat pump for year-round comfort, the home has been thoughtfully updated, with improvements that include basement waterproofing, a refreshed kitchen, and a brand new bathroom alongside cosmetic upgrades throughout. A beautiful pool, mature landscaped grounds, and a charming dog nook tucked under the stairs round out a home that is as livable as it is impressive. A double detached garage and paved driveway add everyday practicality, while the location puts you within walking distance of Oxford’s town amenities, including a new recreation centre opening this summer. For buyers looking for a meaningful property with history, space, and river views, 51 James Street is a rare find.
