For decades, the first thing passersby would notice about the otherwise stately townhouse at 233 Garfield Place was its facade, painted a shade referred to as “bright magenta” in a 2006 New York Times article. The bubblegum-hued exterior was updated in 2012 with one more in keeping with its historic brownstone neighbors. The four-story Park Slope home, configured as a triplex above a two-bedroom garden flat, is now on the market for $4,995,000.
Inside, classic details remain, unvarnished. Rooms are framed by mahogany-inlaid hardwood floors and high townhouse ceilings. Wood-burning fireplaces with ornate mantels join antique hardware as accents.
Twenty-first-century additions include updated mechanicals and electric, central heating and AC, and a video intercom system. In addition to the property’s triplex and garden apartment, a finished basement offers split-system HVAC and a washer/dryer.
Past the iconic stoop, enter the foyer and proceed through graceful pocket doors on the parlor floor. At the front of the home is a formal dining area.
Through the elegant living room is a well-appointed eat-in kitchen. Marble worktops and a fireplace highlight traditional colors and modern appliances. At the back is access to a deck overlooking the garden below, perfect for dining, planting, or both.
On the next floor, a full-floor primary suite gets the bonus perk of a large family room/home office and powder room. The primary bedroom has a windowed walk-in closet and a marble-clad bath with a soaking tub and separate shower.
On the home’s top level are two more large bedrooms and two smaller chambers. A full bath and laundry room complete the floor.
The garden floor offers a renovated two-bedroom apartment with a full bathroom. This level also offers access to the yard.
Given the home’s Park Slope location, there’s plenty of income potential here–or the opportunity to create a single-family home with even more space.
