n 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. This five-story residence boasts a rich history as the former home of infamous gangster Al Capone in his younger years.

    Capone, born in Brooklyn in 1899, moved into this dwelling with his family at age 11 and remained there until his early 20s. The property has undergone a dramatic transformation from an "uninhabitable" state to a stunning 4,000-plus-square-foot masterpiece by Minerva Development.

    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 oversized 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, while the garden level includes an open-concept great room with double-height ceilings, a wet bar, and access to an outdoor patio.

    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 top floor offers a bedroom, a full bath, and a solarium with a skylight and terrace boasting views of Prospect Park and lower Manhattan.

    The property's history is a unique aspect of its charm, offering a glimpse into the life of one of America's most infamous gangsters.
