Exclusive | An infamous crime lord grew up in this Brooklyn townhouse - which now asks $6.25M for sale
Briefly

In Brooklyn's Park Slope, a renovated townhouse at 38 Garfield Place has hit the market for $6.25 million. This historic property was once occupied by notorious gangster Al Capone during his formative years. Capone lived there from the age of 11 until he moved to Chicago to establish his criminal empire. The residence underwent a full-scale renovation, transforming it from an uninhabitable state to a luxurious multi-story home. The revamped interior includes high-end finishes and ample living space, complete with modern amenities while retaining its historic charm.
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 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.
