Property Description for 65 South Oxford Street, 2

Truly unique opportunity to live in one of the grandest homes on one of the best blocks in a stunning and dramatic parlor floor condo in prime Fort Greene. Four unique floor-through units have been respectfully carved out of this extra-wide (23' wide!) and magnificent Italianate mansion, offering buyers the intimacy of a smaller condo community but all of the drama, light and scale that can only be afforded by a historical mansion in one of Brooklyn's most architecturally significant neighborhoods. Situated a half a block to the famed Olmstead-designed Fort Greene Park, as well as the finest dining and amenities in every direction, including Romans, Evalina and Miss Ada's, to name a few. Cultural institutions right outside your door include BAM, Mark Morris, and Greenlight Books, as well as every single subway line at Atlantic Center and Dekalb Avenues, Whole Foods and the Apple Store.
The best of all worlds awaits. Head up the stoop to this parlor floor and enjoy a loft-like 1066 SF home with over 12' ceilings and museum-worthy historical details throughout plus a small balcony. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows for amazing light all day, and then dig into all of the details that separate this home out from the crowd; two ornate marble hand-carved Carrara mantlepieces flanked by oversized Piers mirrors, ornate coffered plaster ceilings, wedding cake plaster picture moldings, and dazzling inlaid floors with the original nail heads. Newly painted throughout.
Currently configured as a large one bedroom home separated by the massive and intact original oversized pocket doors, this home has the ability to be used as a studio, one or two bedroom home, depending upon your needs. The overwhelming scale of the front parlor easily accommodates one or two bedrooms plus a living room The even wider back parlor has been masterfully designed with a true chef's kitchen, formal dining area, and a large windowed bathroom. Owned by a professional chef, you will be greeted by a large wall of flush custom cabinetry and large pull out pantries, plus a vented 6-burner Bertazzoni range and Bosch dishwasher. A vented washer and dryer have also been cleverly concealed in the oversized kitchen area. Enjoy entertaining with a full garden view through the oversized glass door that takes you to a small private balcony for al fresco dining.

The building amenities include a large basement for extra storage, a newly redone roof, and low monthlies and taxes. If your budget allows, the 2 bedroom garden unit is also available for sale and could be easily combined with the parlor floor to create a one-of-a-kind 3 to 4 bedroom 2100 SF garden duplex. Please reach out directly for details.

Fort Greene | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Conveniently situated just north of the beautiful and lush Prospect Park, Fort Greene is rich with history. Representative of an aesthetic that Brooklyn is often associated with--the brownstone and row house architecture being an institution of the community--Fort Greene is decidedly singular in visual style. As part of the National Register of Historic Places, this South Brooklyn neighborhood offers unique charm and plenty of character.

Beginning with its early military-oriented inception (the territory was central to the Battle of Long Island), Fort Greene has always been recognized for its spaciousness and a sense of openness. Filled with nature and greenery, it is also home to its very own eponymously named park in addition to being in close proximity to Brooklyn’s largest recreational area, Prospect Park (containing the beloved Prospect Park Zoo within it). 

Many residents come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and commute to their workplaces in Manhattan, while keeping Fort Greene as their separate haven. The diversity of the area has proven to be one of the few examples of a Brooklyn neighborhood maintaining its roots in part thanks to its protected status.
