House of the Day: 220 Garfield Place
220 Garfield Place was on the market with Brown Harris Stevens for $2,150,000 back in 2009 but the listing mysteriously disappeared after a couple of weeks. Now it’s back–at the same price–with Brooklyn Properties. The Neo-Grec brownstone has lots of historic charm and appears to be in decent shape. It’s currently configured as a double-duplex,…

220 Garfield Place was on the market with Brown Harris Stevens for $2,150,000 back in 2009 but the listing mysteriously disappeared after a couple of weeks. Now it’s back–at the same price–with Brooklyn Properties. The Neo-Grec brownstone has lots of historic charm and appears to be in decent shape. It’s currently configured as a double-duplex, though, and neither kitchen looks worthy of a house of this price, so it’ll be interesting to see how it fares.

Biff FTW.
Those awnings are really common in historic photos, especially for buildings with south-facing facades. I’d love to see it stay.
“Parlour” v. “parlor”? Am I sensing the beginnings of a Brownstoner style guide?
I’m a sucker for awnings and love these. My house originally had them on all windows and windowed doors on the south side, which is the back in my case. I’m always surprised other people don’t like them. They look like summer to me.
Property Shark says its 19.5 feet wide — why does it look so skinny to me?
Parlour floor windows and top floor windows have awnings in my tax photo.
Amzi Hill, please use the proper, more formal spelling of parlour from now on.
Brown Harris Stevens DOES have this listing. Same price.

The sellers should plaster “CRUMBS BAKE SHOP” on the awning to increase the foot traffic.
Good gawd my smart phone grammar suxors.
dibs – all your parlor windows, or all street side interesting. I actually have never seen that, now that I think about it does seem kind of cool in an offbeat way.
