House of the Day: 315 Garfield Place
As Curbed noted earlier this week, the monster mansion at 315 Garfield Place in Park Slope which tested the waters with an $8.5 million asking price back in the dark days of late 2008, is back. The 28-foot-wide house is still just as gorgeous, the market is stronger and, at $8.15 million, the price is…

BoreumHill,
I would agree with that, and http://www.heresparkslope.blogspot.com/ is beating Bstoner to the punch on all things Park Slope related (even though wasn’t there supposed to be a special correspondent for bstoner just for Park Slope??)
“The listing implies that the garden level may be rented at present. So are the owners relying on that small “serving kitchen” on the main floor? With no garden access? No powder room on the parlor floor? ”
No, it probably means the building has a C of O as a two family. If one were to want to go that route than you’d have to do some renovation but honestly, anyone who’s paying that much for a house isn’t going to be looking for a renter so I think the point is moot.
“am I the only one that apparently cannot afford to rent or own anything in this borough?”
I have a place within a couple of mins walk of this one and paid well under 4% of this ask for my place. Mine is a studio of course, but just wanted to put ‘own anything’ in perspective.
This house was purchased in october 2006 for 3.2mm or so if i remember correctly…. and then put it on the market 2 yrs later for 8.5mm and again in 2009 and now again in 2010….
and i still dont think most of the detail is original.
As Curbed noted earlier this week…

What I have noted of late is Curbed (which is pretty content starved to begin with) beats you to the punch on pretty much any Brooklyn topic they want to cover.
“back in the dark days of late 2008”
As if we’ve seen light in the real economy.
“the market is stronger”
Then why’s the asking price weaker?

Have you seen the video on this house?

Contrary to what Park Sloper notes, the details look original and magnificent to me.
And the kitchen looks beautiful.
Katie Lee, Billy Joel’s ex-wife just sold her West Village Townhouse for 12.9 million.
It’s about 4000 sf.

It was bought in 2005 for 5.6 million.
But according to BHO, ALL real estate is down.
DH, where’s the “pimpish” reference for this pad?
I too like that PPW mansion more. albeit this is very drool worthy
