Time for a little holiday getaway. This four-bedroom, four-bath vacation home located in the Sea Gate area of Coney Island has some unusual and whimsical touches. It also happens to be owned by Emmanuel Garofalo, who The New York Daily News called a “known Gambino crime family mobster.”

There are a few chandeliers strewn about, but overall the feeling is cheerful, casual and bright, as one might expect of a seaside lair. There is an iridescent blue and black bath whose coloring recalls fish scales or mermaids. The tile in the master bath appears to be printed with faces from famous Italian art.

There is a parquet floor in the media room, and the entry hall has a leaded glass door and transoms and what appears to be a slate floor. The cabinetry’s pneumatic legs make the black and silver kitchen look as if it’s about to achieve liftoff.

Do you find it appealing for $1,198,000?

  1. Who are all those people’s faces on the tiles in the master bath? People now sleeping with the fishes? Creepy!! I guess you would have to pry each of those out and replace them with something else, that is unless you like your bath to be adorned with people you don’t know. Weird.

  2. I disagree, Adrienne. What Cate wrote is essential information for anyone thinking of buying this particular property. Not highlighting this information would be offensive and ridiculous, particularly in light of his conviction!
