164 South Oxford Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 164 South Oxford Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome, 4-story, two-building complex at 164 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, has 16 condominium apartments with a gated entrance and angled fencing. 

It was erected in 2015 by East River Partners. 

South Oxford has a Federal-style façade with a mansard and South Portland has a Parisian-style façade and the two structures are connected with a 60-foot rear yard. 

Barry Rice was the architect.

Bottom Line

A very attractive and charming red-brick house with a gated entrance with angled fencing and an entrance stoop beneath a bracketed cornice element with a mansard roof with two small oculi windows.

Description

There is a broad, bracketed cornice over the entrance and a wide bracketed cornice above the third floor and the top floor is set back.
