291 Garfield Pl. #3

This is a beautiful Park Slope floor through in an all owner occupied 5 unit historic 1899 Beau Arts Brownstone on one of the most beautiful tree-lined park blocks in the neighborhood. Located on the 3rd floor, 2 flights up, it has 1 bedroom but can be converted to a usable 2 bedroom apartment. Both apts above this one with the same footprint were 2 bedroom apartments. It is 920 square feet and has a 375 square foot roof deck. The decks’ roof and the parapets were just redone ready for the new decking to be installed. South/South West light floods the front living room through the oversized windows. The back faces North/North East, perfect for the bedroom. It has wonderful turn of the century details including: 10 foot ceilings, a wedding cake plaster ceiling in the living room, birds eye maple doors and door casings around the bay windows and all doorways, 12" moldings, shutters front and back, and original oak floors throughout. There are 4 closets, one of which is huge. In the front, over the unique portico of the building, is a small “nook” which feels like you’re sitting in a tree house with windows on 2 sides. With floor to ceiling shelving, it’s currently used an office. The fourth room contains beautiful oak built-in bookshelves and etagere. I call it the library. The galley kitchen has been upgraded with Corian counters, tile floor and a stainless sink. There is a new stackable washer/dryer in the utility closet. The bathroom was renovated many years ago in period style and is in excellent condition. It has an original beautiful stained glass window. You enter the bedroom through glass French doors. It also has a bay window and a mahogany French door leading out to the deck. With all the charm and warmth you dream of, this apartment has been a truly wonderful home to love. Cats are welcome, but sorry, no dogs. This is a non-smoking building. Being sold by owner/agent.
