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 four-story Park Slope home, configured as a triplex above a two-bedroom garden flat, is now on the market for $4,995,000.
