Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the blaze with much of the damage contained to the front of the home, where charred wood and blackened brick was visible from the street.
A damage estimate has not yet been determined.
The tenants of the two units were not inside when the fire broke out.
Investigators remained on scene late Tuesday morning trying to determine the origin, cause, and circumstance of the fire.
Oxford between McNay and Appel streets was closed while crews worked to douse the flames. It has since been reopened to traffic.
