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]…

225 Garfield Place [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
Top floor tenants means “locked” entry to your parlor. Would suck to pay this amount for a house and then have it feel like a condo. Plus, three-family means fire-escape (ugly) or sprinklers (ugly). Also, owner bedrooms on the semi-dark garden floor = lame.
AND – is that a steam radiator in the parlor? For this amount of loot, the house needs central HVAC.
That said, nice exterior and good location.
“two tenants stomping around overhead”
LOL.

“Does anyone in the market for a $2 million house actually send their kid to public school?”
You clearly are not familiar with P.S. 321…
The answer to your question is most certainly, yes. It’s the reason why many people with children move to this area of Park Slope in the first place.
Umm… yeah the schools. Does anyone in the market for a $2 million house actually send their kid to public school?
Honestly, I would think not.
I’m with tybur6. The kind of folks who can afford this sort of place are not going to want to live with two tenants stomping around overhead. This house would probably be more valuable as a single family or as a triplex over a garden floor rental.
tyburg you are making too much sense. stop explaining the economics and drink the koolaid
Would have to agree, Tyburg. But I guess someone will put down 50 percent or something like that. Remember: The schools!
Overpriced but slightly less so than today’s co-op of the day.
$2M/8(studio capacity in a typical brownstone) = 250K.
$/SF(Prime Park Slope) = $/SF(Anywhere in Fort Greene)? Don’t think so!

Too much granite and hulking stove hoods, not enough peeling plaster for my taste.
