253 Garfield Place #4-L

This timeless Park Slope two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home is the epitome of prewar elegance. Featuring treetop views and brilliant light from south, west and north exposures, this top floor apartment is warm and inviting from the moment you enter the door. The large 24.5' living room faces south and is bathed in natural light from its bowed windows. Currently configured as a two bedroom with a small office/guest room, the layout is flexible and can easily accommodate a third bedroom. The eat-in kitchen features a double oven, vented stove and ample storage space. Accessed through the kitchen is your laundry room with its own wash basin and plenty of room for folding. The spacious dining room is perfect for entertaining large groups and full of charming details including picture rail molding, ceiling medallion, a built-in buffet and a lovely window seat in the bowed windows. The full bathroom is conveniently located near the bedrooms with classic subway tile and a custom marble sink. There is also a half bathroom off the home office/guest room. This carefully maintained pre-war building does not have an elevator; however the caliber of this special home is well worth the walk up. The building has a lovely landscaped roof deck with sweeping views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and even the Statue of Liberty - all of this just one flight from 4L. There is bike storage in the basement and each unit has a storage bin. Desirably located on the corner of Garfield and Fiske Place (between 7th and 8th Avenues), you are one block from Prospect Park and a host of cafes, restaurants and shops on 7th Ave. Pets permitted with board approval.
