In a Flash, So. Oxford Mansion Goes for $13 Mil
That was quick. Within a few days of coming on the market at an eye-popping price of $13 million, the eight-bedroom mansion on South Oxford at Hanson Place has reportedly been snatched up by a developer. The good news? The historic 1830’s home will be spared, though a neighboring two-family home and two carriage houses…
That was quick. Within a few days of coming on the market at an eye-popping price of $13 million, the eight-bedroom mansion on South Oxford at Hanson Place has reportedly been snatched up by a developer. The good news? The historic 1830’s home will be spared, though a neighboring two-family home and two carriage houses will have a date with the wrecking ball to make way for a 40,000-square-foot high-rise condo development. For the last decade the property has been owned and occupied by Belgian artist Marc Lambrechts. Given that the yellow house is not protected by landmark laws, we have to say we’re pleased with any outcome that will preserve the house. And besides, its location is so close to the Atlantic Mall and Atlantic Avenue itself that a high-rise there may not end up feeling completely out of place. And, given the location and price, it’s probably a safe bet that this won’t be a Fedders building.

forget about scarano. the poor guy probably won’t be able to sign drawings soon, that is, after his scheduled oath hearing.
The South Tower is supposed to be 80K sq ft. That lot only allows for 41K sq ft.
I’ll add to the conspiracy theory a bit. Another likely site is the entire block bound by Fulton, South Portland, Hanson and a sliver of South Oxford.
Bascially from the hardware store(neighborhood business) down to Not Ray’s Pizza(taking out several neighborhood businesses), then around the corner by the church, then back up to the hardware store taking out a couple more neighborhood businesses. All right on top of a G subway station.
Interesting conspiracy theory, but why would the property even have come on the market if the developer already had been planning to build there for some time?
The Scarano Tower is going here 🙂
Ben, House alone may be worth more than $3.???
why not more like 5., and they were asking 13. lets say setteld at 12.-5.=7.diveded by 41,562=$168 per bd, sqft. fairly decent for the area don`t you think?
Yes, it is a shame, but on the other hand, how many buyers are out there for an historic home that needs loads of maintenance, a two family house and several carriages houses…. Especially so near to the busy Atlantic Center. I think the main issue here is ensuring that somehow that house isn’t razed. There is still ample opportunity.
shame on Marc for selling to a god damn developer. ugh. people have no sense.
