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]…

“and you, apparently, have no idea what it’s like to live in NYC knowing it’s becoming less and less of a possibility everyday.”
Actually, housing prices are down, rents are down…how exactly is it becoming less and less a possibility…?
And p.s. working in “the arts” does not always mean the not for profit arts. You might be surprised to learn that Yo Yo Ma’s fee for one concert…a single night is $90,000. He performs over 250 concerts per year.
His manager takes 20%.
There you have an endless cycle of people in the arts who make substantial money, and that’s classical music…not even a genre which people consider lucrative…
LOL “What’s in your wallet? ” Capital one.
Oh my the hate.
You people went into a top school frenzie just trying to firgure this out. And Brownstoner just told you Berkley Carroll is expanding.
Just face it you’ll never find a primo brownstone in PS for less than a milli. Only Kah Kah is left.
I have a friend in that income range – a single mother w/ a brownstone. Not only taxes & mortgage come out of it but savings for college, piano lessons, etc. It mounts up & private school tuition is not just icing on that cake.
Ditmas – depends how old they are
“I am a ‘professional’ and make a decent wage, but this city is absurd and all of the arguments by the wealthy that have created this market make me angry.”
You simply sound like someone who doesn’t have what it takes to make it here. You’re right – you should leave.
just saying, 321 is LESS racially and economically diverse than it’s area. so I dont get the whole diversity thing.
and hey, nobody wants violent kids in the classroom, but I’m hopeful that city dwellers would welcome a kid in their 1st grade class who may be ill-prepared when they arrive at school thru no fault of their own. there are families in crisis all over this town, and it would be both ironic and depressing if they were considered somehow “less” in a place like Park Slope.
> people who make more then 500 are going to be taxed
> like they have never seen before.
Really? Higher than the 70-94% rates imposed from 1936-1981?
tybur6 “I think i’m actually the type of person you’d want in your neighborhood… ”
Actually no; angry, envious and obnoxious neighbors with almost no reading comprehension (I did not say anything along the lines of what you assert) is not what most people are looking for.
BO- you might want to go take out a long lease for your new handle. I can think of much worse in case it’s already taken. btw, have you done your homework? I have.
