Property Description for 288 Garfield Place
More images to come!
On one of the most iconic blocks in Park Slope, this 1891 landmarked masterpiece-with a striking Avant-Garde renovation from 1967-has stood the test of time and remains highly relevant today. Featured in GQ, House and Garden, and Vogue, its loft-like design and double-height ceilings, along with central AC, are elements found in today's top-tier renovations. This two-family home, currently used as a single-family residence, offers 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms on Garfield Place, between Prospect Park West and 8th Avenue.
The handsome facade and L-shaped stoop hint at the grandeur that lies behind the original doors. The timeless renovation greets you as you enter through a mahogany door frame and glass from the vestibule. Throughout the home, you'll find four additional mahogany glass doors, each with its own story. Step into the dining/living area, where a solarium with open cut-outs connects to the lower level. The full wall of windows in the solarium, replaced in February 2024, and skylights invite light to flood the space while evergreen trees provide year-round privacy.
From here, walk through the expansive kitchen, complete with a Sub-Zero fridge and a separate Sub-Zero full-sized freezer that flank the Thermador double wall ovens. Feel like a chef with the Garland stove and enjoy ample space for an eat-in kitchen.
Descend to the Great Room, where the ceiling soars from 10 to 20 feet in areas and anchored by a stately marble mantel. This space can serve as a spectacular living or family room, with the convenience of a small kitchen on this level. A functioning dumbwaiter makes transporting meals from the parlor floor a breeze. A bedroom and full bath on this floor make it perfect for guests.
On the floor above the Parlor, you'll find the primary suite. The street-facing bay window is original, complemented by a GQ-featured men's closet and a walk-in closet off the double marble sinks in the en-suite bathroom. At the opposite end of the floor is a lofted family room with a decorative fireplace, which could easily serve as a second or third living area.
The top floor boasts four bedrooms and another full bathroom. One room is outfitted with built-in bunk beds, perfect for sleepovers, while another features vaulted ceilings and a new skylight. There's also a washer/dryer hookup on this level, in addition to the new washer/dryer set located in the cellar. There's a full bathroom on every floor, except for the Parlor floor, which has a stylish half-bath. Each bathroom features elegant marble sinks, making every space feel indulgent and ready for a designer's touch.
This home has been meticulously maintained over the years. The roof, modern windows, sliding garden doors, and skylights are all newly updated. Electrical and plumbing systems are in excellent condition, and central AC runs throughout the house. With a trusted contractor, you can seamlessly settle into this home.
Zoned for PS 321. A half block from Prospect Park, close to all that you need on 7th, 5th and Vanderbilt Avenues and convenient to the 2, 3, 4, B and Q trains. The Botanical Gardens, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library and Grand Army Plaza are around the corner too. All in all, this is a must-see property!

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).
