37 S Oxford St, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Spanning 22 feet wide, this beautiful four-story, two-family Fort Greene townhouse, just a half a block from Fort Greene Park on a gorgeous tree-lined South Oxford Street, will make you swoon. Chock full of original detail paired with modern updates, the width of the house gives all of the rooms an expansive feel you just don’t find very often. Up the quintessential Brooklyn stoop and through gorgeous original double wooden doors, enter into the upper triplex. With a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE, intricately carved marble mantel, enormous west-facing windows complete with original pocket shutters, 11 foot ceilings, and original moldings and ceiling medallions, the living room is spacious and wonderfully appointed. Original pocket doors are tucked between the living room and the impressive dining room with both expansive rooms boasting refinished parquet wood flooring. Easily accommodating a table large enough for a grand feast, the dining room leads out to a charming deck, perfect for dining outdoors or savoring a cup of morning coffee. Steps lead to the impeccably designed garden. With bluestone paving, Ipe decking and thoughtful planting, the lush garden is the perfect oasis from the bustle of the city. With entrances from the hall and the dining room, the kitchen features a Garland professional range, custom wood cabinetry, granite counters and tons of work and storage space. A large skylight provides lovely natural light throughout the day, while white-painted exposed brick serves as the backdrop of the space. Up the stairs on the second floor you’ll find the luxurious primary suite. Spanning the entire floor, front to back, the room includes a sitting area, a dressing area, a walk-in closet, and a home office space. A WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE warms the sitting area, while a decorative fireplace adorns the front space. Inviting exposed brick, wide plank hardwood flooring, crown molding and custom lighting add to the elegant feel of this phenomenal space. Leave this glorious room as-is, or easily convert it to two rooms by simply adding a wall in the middle. The primary bath is traditionally renovated with a large cast iron tub, a pedestal sink, and classic subway tile. On the top floor, two enormous bedrooms, each with a deep closet, are charmingly connected by a pass-through that offers additional closet and storage space. A third, smaller bedroom, easily accommodates a twin bed, but would also make a fantastic home office or nursery. The bathroom here is also traditionally renovated and houses the stacked washer and dryer. Gorgeous wide plank hardwood floors can be found throughout the third floor as well. Throughout the house you’ll find charming details that, while subtle, add to the wonderful character of the house, including stained glass doors, classic wall sconces and custom lighting. On the garden floor of the house is a large apartment. With another WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE, hardwood floors, a renovated bathroom, and two-bedrooms, the apartment offers great income potential. With the stairway between the garden level and parlor level intact, converting to single-family use would be a cinch. Located in the heart of Fort Greene, a half block from the park, two blocks from Fulton Street, between Dekalb and Lafayette, around the corner from the C train and minutes to the Atlantic Avenue/ Baclay’s Center transport hub, the BAM Cultural District, and surrounded by great shopping (including Whole Foods 365 across the street), dining and entertainment, the location is second to none.
