3656 Johnson Ave

The Oxford House is a six-story prewar cooperative built in 1931 and converted to co-op ownership in the 1980s. Its exterior evokes subtle Tudor motifs while the interior preserves period craftsmanship: a double-height lobby with stained glass and decorative fixtures announces the building’s original character. Units range predominantly from one-bedroom to multi-bedroom combined apartments; common interior traits include high and cathedral ceilings, arched doorways, hardwood floors, crown moldings, and other original details updated with modern conveniences like granite counters and renovated eat-in kitchens. Building services and shared spaces are practical and neighborhood-focused — a full-time resident superintendent, renovated elevator, central laundry, bike room, storage areas, and a courtyard with private outdoor space. Parking is available across the street (fee-based) and there is a service entrance/ramp to ease move-ins. The property sits in central Riverdale, a walkable Bronx neighborhood with immediate access to shops, restaurants, schools, parks, and multiple transit options including local buses, express buses to Manhattan, the #1 subway, and Metro-North connections. Pet policies are restrictive in many listings, and monthly maintenance typically includes heat and water.
