Rental of the Day: 233 Garfield Place
Okay, we’ll admit this one-bedroom was chosen as Rental of the Day mostly because 233 Garfield is Park Slope’s pink brownstone, making this listing the opportunity to “Live in a legend,” as the broker puts it. The pictures of the interior are scarce and unimpressive and we don’t have any square footage info, but when…
Okay, we’ll admit this one-bedroom was chosen as Rental of the Day mostly because 233 Garfield is Park Slope’s pink brownstone, making this listing the opportunity to “Live in a legend,” as the broker puts it. The pictures of the interior are scarce and unimpressive and we don’t have any square footage info, but when this brownstone was HOTD we did report that it has “all of its architectural details in place” even if the interior was a little rough around the edges. What do you think of the $2,000-a-month rent?

wow, i charge less for a 2 br apartment in the North slope with a w/d.
$2,000 seems high.
The elderly gentleman who painted the house its current hot pink color may have been bland or not but he almost certainly had cataracts.
i think it looks like a shiny diamond in a row of turds.
*rob*
I’d get nauseous every time I walked up the stoop, just having to look at the exterior.
“only bland old people would think this house is an eyesore.”
It doesn’t bother me that much but on balance I have a negative view of it. Clearly the person that did it thinks they are sooo different and interesting, whereas it’s really not imaginative, just garish.
As for old – I have 10 years on you but maybe not quite there yet!
only bland old people would think this house is an eyesore.
A $%#$%ing eyesore. The one good thing about living in this house is that you don’t see it when you look out of the window.
Garfield is a super prime block. If the rooms are indeed large and the floors are hardwood, it is a good find for $2000.
No one would have trouble finding your home.
I thought the old guy who re-painted the house pink in deference to his beloved departed wife had himself passed away? He should have been a lobbyist. Not too may instances of the Landmarks Commission accepting an electric-pink facade.
I find it hard to look at frankly.
