House of the Day: 170 South Oxford Street
This house at 170 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene is a cutie, all the more charming for its unusual large front yard. The 4,000-square-foot brick house, which is asking $1,675,000, appears to be in excellent shape too. Probably its biggest drawback is its location.

This house at 170 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene is a cutie, all the more charming for its unusual large front yard. The 4,000-square-foot brick house, which is asking $1,675,000, appears to be in excellent shape too. Probably its biggest drawback is its location. While quite convenient, these blocks between Fulton and Atlantic generally don’t command the same prices as those to the north. This place in particular has an uphill battle given its proximity to the Ratner-developed newish townhouses.

I personally like this street closer to Hanson Place/Fulton. It’s not clear if this place has a back yard or if that is owned by the garages behind it. If it was a few houses closer to Fulton/Hanson Place, it would be a quick sell in my opinion, though who knows how AY will proceed. If the arena goes through, then that would alter my opinion as this is very close to that…
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.” Biff
$400/sf for a large, wide, move-in ready (apparently) house in ft. greene seems like a good deal, even if the block is not great.
I was in this “farmhouse” over 35 years ago when I was processing 3% renovation loans in the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area. If one looks around carefully you might find some very early outlets powered by “direct current”. Construction of this building predated most Fort Greene brownstones and dates back to the 1860’s !!
Any thoughts on what’s behind the blue curtain in pic #6 of 11? The curiosity is killing me.
I’m with Pete–this looks pretty nice and decently priced to me.
BRG…that Caddy would look great parked there.
I dunno. Not quite sure what block looks like but I think very convenient location with great transportation and own parking and move-in condition of what looks real nice inside…plus house set back from street. Looks very good.
Biff…you beat me to that one. Personally I can think of countless things that feel better than that!!!
I guess though if the driveway is gated then you can drink in the front yard without fear of a ticket.
