House of the Day: 225 Garfield Place
This brownstone at 225 Garfield Place in Park Slope was an Open House Pick on Friday but it clearly deserves the full House of the Day treatment. Exterior? Great. Location? Great? Gut renovation? Extensive and probably expensive. Does it work for you? More importantly, can it fetch the $2,290,000 asking price? 225 Garfield Place [Corcoran]…

tybur6 ….. Based on the articulate F bomb in your first post, you could have probably used a 321 education yourself.
fsrq,
couldn’t disagree more.
Sixyearsandcounting… you probably have, but my identity will remain secret until I have completed testifying against the mob.
BrooklynGreene… sorry about the eff-word, I didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers. Though, I have to admit that I can’t promise it won’t happen again…
Oh, sixyearsandcounting, by the way… Marine Park and other places are fine. However, what if you work anywhere but Manhattan? (I’m assuming there’s some sort of magical link to midtown, there always seems to be something manhattancentric.) These not so ‘central’ places make it difficult to get places which does make living on more modest means even more problematic.
The numbers are ridiculous on this one….Corcoran needs to put down the crack pipe.
What is the point of having rentals if it won’t even make a dent in the mortgage payment…and this won’t. Why spend 2.25 million to live in Bklyn and be a landlord and still pay through the nose?
After having a case of commentitis on the Coop Of The Day thread, I’ll simply say:
Tybur, please don’t use the eff-word. You really went at today.
And Mr. Joist, you really tore the HOTD to shreds there…but I agree, fire escapes, exposed steam and sprinkler pipes are all ugly.
Yes, I can see someone coming and taking over another floor in this house. I find the original style rather ugly altogether. But I like what they did with the renovation.
I’ve never been a fan of Neo-Greque, Eastlake and the like. I find it all rather depressing this is why I find that much of Park Slope is not to my taste.
I prefer the older parts of “Brownstone Brooklyn” most of which is “brick”…and prettier. Give me a brick rowhouse street in Fort Greeene (of course), Cobble Hill or Brooklyn Heights any day.
“Mopar — I live in Ditmas Park / Flatbush…”
Tybur6, do I ever see you at Sycamore?

It’s amazing what one can do with a cheap cut of meat and a little creativity.
I have actually raised a 13-year-old in Brooklyn and she has lived to tell the tale. She is not interested in living anywhere else, and I’m not either. She went to PS130 in Chinatown–better school, imho, than 124, although 124 has improved lately with a new principal. Most Park Slope kids do go to middle school in District 15 (Park Slope south of Union St.; most of Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Sunset Park) but go all over the city to high school. City kids get around via Metrocards instead of needing Mommy and/or Daddy to drive them–a huge benefit to all. There are all kinds of free and low-cost options for kids to see theater, concerts, museums, etc. I have an income below the median in Brooklyn (which is lower than you think) but my daughter has had a first-class education growing up in Brooklyn.
East New York you are like a Surfing Slum Lord.
