House of the Day: 130 South Oxford Street
This 12.5-foot-wide brick townhouse at 130 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene was purchased for $625,000 in 2003 and subsequently gut renovated in a way that succesfully injects a clean, modern vibe into the 19th-century home without obliterating the sense of history.

Whether it merits a mark-up to $1,550,000 is another matter, one that the market will have to decide. In the meantime, we’re left to wonder if one of the owners could be a stylist or designer.

This would be a lovely home for a family of anorexics.

I recognize that everyone is entitled to their opinion but how is this the “wrong” side of Fulton because it’s on the south side? Isn’t this right off Fulton. (Hanson pl doesn’t really count.) Is the difference between that side of Fulton and the other really that big of a deal? And where does “prime” Ft. Greene begin and end? Good grief.
The owner is an architect.
I love what you’ve done with the Widget!! A good ol’ slap in the face for the realtors/owners that throw in the 150% bids!
Bwahahahaha!
I think it’s lovely. Wish the pics of the 1st floor weren’t so dark.
Aishling — Thanks for the update on 170 S Oxford. That was kind of an unusual house, in location and siting but also very charming. I admit being surpised it went for that much. I was guessing that it would gor much closer to $1.2 or 1.3, but I guess it shows that even in this market there are buyers with lots of cash to spend on the place that fits them best.
As for this house, I think this is a nice location actually(especially school wise if you have young children).
OTOH, it’s certainly not what people think of as “prime” Ft. Greene. It’s also a little house very close to the Arena footprint (although actually because it is so close to the top of the ridge that runs along here I doubt that it will be covered in shadows too much). I’d be surprised if this sells this year for over $1 million, but you never know.
nice house, ok location, ugly price. could we have a bidding war – ie after it’s lowered to 750k (50% off)? if I were bidding, 925k. but suspect someone will pay 1.1M for it
I love overlisting….
price at some obscene value, and 30% off is a bargain!
30% off puts you at 1 mil, and for that you get a 12.5 foot wide home in Fort Green that will drive you nuts.
The comps everywhere for anything this price put this kind of property to shame, and THOSE are overpriced.
oy-vey.
pity the sucker who pays even close to that for this.
12 ft wide..in fort green. posted on the coop by accident, but I’ll reiterate as a question:
should I sh*t of go blind here?
The FSBO aspect is hysterical, BTW. Nice glimpse into the seller mindset.
