Own a piece of Oxford history! The home was built by silent film actress Margery Wilson. She had the home built in the 1930s and entitled it Brookstone. With its beautiful grounds and stunning views overlooking the pond, you will see why she cherished this home. Margery was an accomplished writer, actress, and director. She authored several books which are on display on the library mantle which is decorated with custom tiles depicting plays of Shakespeare. While residing at Brookstone she held etiquette classes for citizens of the area. The property with its 19 acres of land offers many opportunities to the future homeowner. There are 2 outbuildings, a metal building (approx 4,000 sqft) equipped with 5 horse stalls and plenty of space. The smaller building could be a workshop, gym, or a future pool house. There is also a 2-room studio w/ kitchenette above the 3-car garage. The home was updated to allow for the modern convenience of a new home while retaining the elegance of the time it was built. You will surely be impressed by the grand entry with a spiral staircase, the original hardwood floors, and the impressive grand oak timbers throughout the property. If the new owners desire, additional rooms can be added on the 3rd floor. This property is located near RT's 8,84, and 95 and within 10 minutes of Oxford Airport. Due to the property's size and location, there was once a water well drilling company, a tree farm and horse stables here. The options are endless for what the next owner may want to do. Potential secondary access to Echo Valley Rd leading to the new Quarry Walk Shopping Center. Updates to property include: New Roof (transferable warranty), modern electrical, HVAC with central air, plumbing, windows, insulation, patio, driveway, pergola, new propane tank.
