Property Description for 59 Garfield Place

A gem of a home! This spectacular, newly renovated three bedroom, two and a half bath two family home has that rare combination of beautiful, old world details, melded with a tastefully renovated and luxurious kitchen and mint condition new marble baths as well an open floorplan that is sure to delight you. Some details include beautiful exposed brick walls, two working wood-burning fireplaces and two decorative fireplace mantels, extra high ceilings, and beautiful floors.

This brick two family home has an owners two bedroom duplex that has been completely renovated. The first floor has a beautiful working wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and has plenty of room for relaxing and for your dining pleasure. It features a gorgeous new kitchen with a two inch Carrera marble island, Viking appliances (refrigerator, stove and dishwasher), plentiful Carrera marble counters and backsplash, a farmhouse wide and deep porcelain sink, tons of lovely white cabinetry, and a stainless microwave drawer, inset within the island. There is a decorative fireplace in the kitchen too. An adorable marble powder room is on this level. There is a door leading from the kitchen to a beautiful patio, perfect for your morning coffee, and stairs that lead into the backyard oasis-complete with an incredible tree, that begs for a treehouse to be installed.

Upstairs you'll find a spacious master bedroom, with a huge walk-in closet (suitable for an office, for some), that includes a wall safe. The bath on this level is a hedonist's delight, with a large soaking tub as well as a separate stall shower with rain showerhead and a marble vanity and tiling, as well as a skylight.

The second bedroom is also quite spacious, and has a very large closet, within is a stacking washer/dryer. There is a skylight in the hallway, that lends light and character as well to the entire floor and the floor below.

The garden rental is a large and beautiful space too. It features an open living/kitchen area, with a working wood-burning fireplace with a marble mantel and exposed brick walls. The kitchen is also modern, with wood cabinetry, stainless appliances and plenty of counter space. The bedroom is quite lovely and has a huge closet as well as a full-size washer and dryer. It has easy access to the backyard as well.

The basement, housing the mechanicals, is accessed via bilko doors in the backyard, and is great for storage.

And there's more. This home has additional FAR, so there is room to expand, perhaps another 500'. Check with your architect.

This home, located on Garfield Place, just off of 5th Avenue (restaurant row), is steps from great dining, shops and amenities. It's near Prospect Park and everything that makes Park Slope such a wonderful place to live. It's a quick walk to the R train, and also near the 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, B, LIRR at Atlantic Ave too.

Park Slope | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Boasting beautiful tree-lined streets, brownstones and a range of activities for all age groups, Park Slope is consistently ranked as one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods. Filled with lush parks and greenery, the neighborhood is also known for its rare combination of excellent public schools, award-winning restaurants, nightlife, small independently owned businesses and community gardens.

Situated at the western slope of Prospect Park, the neighborhood is divided into different sections: North Slope, Center Slope and South Slope. Depending on who you ask, of course, the definitions of where these borders end and begin may vary (is the divide between North and Center deemed Union Street, Garfield Place, 1st Street or 3rd Street? The one between Center and South 6th Street, 9th Street, 11th Street or 15th Street?). 

Regardless of what part of the Slope you find yourself on, there’s no shortage of architectural beauty. From row houses to brownstones to mansions, the idyllic setting of the neighborhood is further enhanced by its Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles. Case in point of this is also two of the area’s most well-known churches, Park Slope United Methodist Church and Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church. 

Revered for its family-friendly appeal, Park Slope is often regarded as one of the best places to raise a family in New York City. That said, it doesn’t mean that parents don’t know how to have a good time... a slew of bars constantly opening in the neighborhood ranging from the high-end cocktail saloon to the dive (well, by Park Slope standards, anyway).
