Condos of the Day: 10 South Oxford Street
We bet there will plenty of interest in the latest brownstone condo conversion in Fort Greene despite the fact that the finishes aren’t doing it for us. Why? The location. This one’s at 10 South Oxford Street, just steps from the park. The three upper floor-through units are all listed as having 950 square feet…
We bet there will plenty of interest in the latest brownstone condo conversion in Fort Greene despite the fact that the finishes aren’t doing it for us. Why? The location. This one’s at 10 South Oxford Street, just steps from the park. The three upper floor-through units are all listed as having 950 square feet (though we suspect that includes the public hallway) and are asking from $750,000 to $800,000; the lower duplex is asking $1,550,000. As for the finishes, we just don’t care for the “new traditional” look. Give us the old stuff, warts and all, or a modern reno that’s got some teeth. This stuff in the middle is just kinda blah.

This is bad. I think I would prefer no details to these “details”. The fireplace mantels are hideous, and one old one just does not match the decor.Did you notice a piece of crown molding between parlor floor doors. Icky!
I do not think an architect has been involved in these interiors, besides filing the job at DOB. This is a contractor/developer “special”.
Its a wrap
What blog is going to say anything is worth it now? Sooooo obvious.
With 20% down and rates @ 6% these floorthru condos will cost you $4,183.00 per month(with maintenance & taxes).
Thats insane!! Why would anyone buy a floorthru for $4200/month when they can rent similar floorthru for less than $2500/month, saving themselves $20K every year?
This is a great example of why renting is better than buying.

Oh My Goodness! look at those awful aluminum bronze windows & the over the top moldings & that Fireplace with the weird floor Oh My Goodness Get a clue on the current trend this is no tit
Oh so sad. Such a great block, and to have to walk into what’s basically dorm quality garbage. They actually took a photo of the microwave. Priceless.
I’m especially revolted by the shit they did to the fireplaces. Did they actually tile them with what looks like home depot limestone tile? The big mantel (one of the first photos) actually looks like it’s floating off the ground. Totally mutilated.
I really wish that some decent architects would get in on the conversion/development game, instead of these smalltime hacks.New york has so many talented designers who do beautiful work on shoestring budgets. Why are flippers always (or for the most part) so damn tasteless?
overpriced. lets check back on these in a few mths. i say 20% reduction
Junk.
The “Euro” kitchens look completely out of place.
I think these are really high on a dollar per square foot basis.
I agree with 12:43. There’s worse.
