A
l Capone’s former Brooklyn townhouse sold for $5.82 million, The Post reports. The five‑story home, which had been listed at $6.25 million after a dramatic renovation, sits at 38 Garfield Place in Park Slope.

    Capone, a Brooklyn native, moved into the house in the early 1900s. At 11, he would later join the local Five Points Gang. He left the townhouse in his early twenties to build a criminal empire in Chicago, earning the moniker “Public Enemy No. 1.” The property’s connection to the Capone family was not the main selling point, according to listing agent Nadia Bartolucci. The mob history was omitted from initial tours; buyers discovered it only through their own research. “Everyone thought it was super cool,” she said.

    Bartolucci also represented 21 Garfield Place, once home to Capone’s extended family. She credited the seller’s grand reimagining of the historic home for sealing the deal. Minerva, a real‑estate development firm, bought the property in 2024, becoming only the second owner since the Capones departed.

    The renovation preserved the brick façade while gutting the aging interior. Italian marble and custom millwork replaced the old layout, featuring Carrara marble fish‑scale tiles in the vestibule and Calcutta Oro countertops on the kitchen island. The townhouse now spans over 4,000 sq ft across five floors, with four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and three powder rooms. Bartolucci praised the garden‑level open‑concept great room, boasting double‑height ceilings and patio access. The lot’s unusual depth—113 ft compared to the typical 100 ft—lets southern light flood the oversized windows.

    The fifth floor hosts a skylighted solarium that overlooks Prospect Park and Lower Manhattan. The home attracted multiple offers, especially from buyers in the West Village, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and the Upper West Side, drawn by the neighborhood’s walkability, brownstone lanes, and schools. Ultimately, a local Park Slope couple secured the purchase.

    While the Capone legacy added intrigue, other stories surfaced during the sale. Bartolucci recalled a charming couple who had lived in the house as a rental after the Capone family left. They had stayed in Park Slope for decades and had wondered whether the grapevine they planted in the garden was still thriving. “It felt like a full‑circle moment,” she said. The grapevine was indeed still growing, adding a sweet, personal touch to the historic property.
