This home could be talkin’ to you.
In Brooklyn’s coveted Park Slope, a historic townhouse at 38 Garfield Place has emerged from a meticulous renovation to hit the market for $6.25 million. And it comes with some real mob history.
The five-story residence was once the home of infamous gangster Al Capone in his younger years, The Post has learned.
Capone, born in Brooklyn in 1899, moved into this dwelling with his family in the 1880s when he was 11, remaining there until his early 20s.
“He was born on Navy Street and then the family needed more space,” said listing representative Nadia Bartolucci of Douglas Elliman. “So they then moved over to Park Slope … And the family owned the home for a couple of decades.”
The future crime lord, later dubbed “Public Enemy No. 1,” resided here until 1919, when he relocated to Chicago — where he built a criminal empire through bootlegging, prostitution and gambling.
Convicted of tax evasion in 1931, Capone served eight years in prison and died in 1947 at age 48.
The property, redeveloped by Minerva, a real estate development firm, underwent a dramatic transformation from what Bartolucci described as an “uninhabitable” state into a 4,000-plus-square-foot masterpiece.
The Capone family’s tenure at 38 Garfield Place was followed by a single owner until Minerva bought it in February 2024.
“When the home was acquired, it required a full remodel, a full renovation,” Bartolucci told The Post. “They did a complete ground-up renovation and turned it into an exquisite … triple-mint townhouse and it is beautiful.”
The developer preserved the home’s historic brick front, while expanding its footprint and incorporating premium materials.
The reimagined townhouse now boasts four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, three powder rooms and a finished cellar across five floors.
Sunlit rooms and oversize windows define the interiors, with high-end finishes like Italian marble, bespoke millwork and Carrara marble fish-scale tiles elevating every space.
The chef’s kitchen features a Calcutta Oro countertop island and top-tier appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch microwave. A formal dining area flows into the kitchen.
The garden level includes an open-concept great room with double-height ceilings, a wet bar, and access to an outdoor patio. A home office and versatile recreation room — suitable for a gym, a music studio or a wine cellar — add functionality.
Upstairs, the primary suite boasts a private terrace, an expansive dressing room and a spa-like bathroom featuring dual rain showers, a soaking tub and Calacatta Viola marble mosaics.
The fourth floor houses two secondary bedrooms, each with en-suite baths — while the top floor offers a bedroom, a full bath, and a solarium with a skylight and terrace boasting views of Prospect Park and lower Manhattan.
Bartolucci also represented the nearby 21 Garfield Place — once home to Capone’s extended family — when it listed in 2020.
