Holly Hunter lists historic Fort Greene townhouse for $4.5M

Holly Hunter seems to be a perennial house hunter. In 2014, the Academy Award-winning actress sold her Greenwich Village apartment for $7.6 million. Now, she’s selling again, according to the Post. Hunter has just listed her 19th-century Brooklyn brownstone at 20 South Oxford Street, half a block away from Fort Greene Park, for $4.5 million. Built in 1864, the four-bedroom Italianate home is filled with original details.

Hunter bought the home in 2014 for $3.3 million after what may have been a bidding war, since it had only been listed for $2.65 million.

The one-to-two family dwelling at 20 South Oxford Street must have made quite an impression on a few buyers.

From firehouse to Spike Lee’s movie HQ, this $4.35M Fort Greene home has a century of stories to tell

By
This decommissioned firehouse at 124 Dekalb Avenue–currently asking $4,350,000–has a fascinating history that began in 1895, when it was built as a water tower. Converted into a neighborhood firehouse in 1903, the building's cellar was fortified as a bomb shelter at some point in the 20th century. After the firehouse was disbanded in 1974, the building became a live/work space for celebrated filmmaker Spike Lee, who headquartered his 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks studio here. In the mid-1980s, the building was converted into two duplex loft apartments–and a multi-car garage.
