The best house in Oblivion is widely considered to be Rosethorn Hall in Skingrad. It is the largest and most luxurious home available in the base game, featuring multiple floors, a basement, display cases to showcase items, and a hirable servant. Fully upgrading it offers secret rooms and a quest involving hidden treasures. However, it costs 25,000 gold initially, with upgrades costing roughly the same amount, making it the most expensive house in the game. To buy it, one must have good relations with Shum gro-Yarug, the Orc butler, and at least 15 fame. Rosethorn Hall is regarded as the ultimate house for a hero in Oblivion, combining grandeur, exclusivity, and useful features.
Other notable houses include Benirus Manor in Anvil, which is sizable and comes with free upgrades after completing a quest, and Leyawiin House, which is smaller but more affordable.
