This pale salmon brick-clad townhouse at 323 Garfield Place paints a pretty Park Slope picture, right down to having Prospect Park just steps away. Asking $5,500,000, the home is distinguished from the outside by arched windows and doorways, shingled gables, and a peaked roof. Within, historic character surrounds livable warmth, extending to a leafy rear yard and patio.
Comprised of four stories and a finished attic, this two-family home is currently configured for single-family living, with the flexibility of expansion. The 20-foot-wide townhouse has three exposures for sun-filled interiors.
In traditional brownstone style, the parlor floor holds the main living space. Historic highlights like stained glass, decorative mantels, and oval and arched windows have been beautifully preserved; original wood floors have been painstakingly maintained.
Bright colors make walls and tiles pop, giving every room character.
Tucked charmingly into the home’s hexagonal rear extension, a warm, wood-clad kitchen is more than spacious enough for daily life. The kitchen opens onto a deck leading to an equally enchanting garden with a bluestone patio.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a vintage-accented ensuite bath. Elegant grey walls and a carved mantlepiece add a touch of luxury. As with many rooms throughout the house, this floor’s additional bedroom is a colorful, cheerful surprise.
On the third floor are more bright bedrooms and baths. Rainbow-hued walls blend perfectly with the home’s historic stained glass.
On the very top level, a finished attic awaits the possibility of a landscaped roof terrace; at its lowest level, an above-grade basement offers storage and more living space. The home’s finely detailed pale-brick exterior makes it a covetable example of the surrounding Park Slope Historic District’s appeal.
