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?

  1. “East New York baked my ass? Where the hell are you from baked my ass. Go back to Cali”

    You better be careful – I’ll tell your landlord to up your rent!! HA! HA! HA! 11217 baked your ass!!!

  2. Public School Slag-fest aside, and it has been enjoyable gotta give it up to Tybur:

    “With everything else involved, you’re probably looking at about $10,000 a month or $120,000 a year… to SHARE your house with two other people/families.”

    Man that just sums up the whole thing, don’t it?

    The nice thing with this place is since it’s a new reno, there will be no delisting b/c the owners don’t like what they’re being offered and decide to wait for a recovery (to them: hope you got a while!!)

    SUMMARY…watch this sit and suffer, my friends.

  3. 11217, you got it right about living in NYC… there is SO MUCH to do that is free and cheap.

    I love the way everyone opining on the public schools in PS doesn’t seem to have a kid in them… my kid was in private school, Brooklyn Friends, it totally sucked, moved to PS for 321. She went to the gifted program in 51, which was fine, and after that she went to the HS of her choice, which happened to be LaGuardia. At the time, she wanted to sing. She sang w the NYC Opera, Wynton Marsalis, Tony Bennett. You could not get what she got in any private school…

  4. Mopar — I live in Ditmas Park / Flatbush… I don’t even live in official “Brownstone Brooklyn.” Probably breaking the rules posting on here.

    The only thing that would make my living expenses cheaper would be getting a roommate (which I just finally transitioned away from) or finding a wife to split rent with. The latter would probably make me less whiny. Chicken-and-egg, Catch 22, right? 🙂

  5. Yes I rent, sold my place to some richer sucker version of you. How does it feel do go to sleep at night and know you lost money in youre sleep? If you are old enough to have a doctorate you are most likely not younger then me.
