Remember how I wrote a post about how wonderful Park Slope is and that I'd love to live there? Well, today's news show that I have an opportunity to buy dream about living in Jenna Lyons Park Slope house, because it just went for sale.

"J.Crew president and creative director Jenna Lyons has been going through a lot this year: the sale of her employer to a private equity shop, a split with her artist husband, a rumored relationship with jewelry exec Courtney Crangi, and now, the sale of her frequently-published, frankly gorgeous Park Slope townhouse. The home, located at 178 Garfield Place, has been a fixture on the glossy home magazine circuit afterscoring the cover of the dear-departed Domino in 2008 and is now listedfor $3.75M. The listing claims the house has seven bedrooms spread among its 4,400-square-foot interiors, and while the floor plan tells a different story, there's no denying this 20-foot product of the 1880s is quite the Brooklyn roost. Highlights include a full-floor master suite, bright renovated kitchen, highly organized wine cellar, and an elegant rear garden "anchored by a mature Dogwood tree." Oh, who are we kidding, this whole place is a highlight. Sadly, this is only proof that a beautiful piece of real estate might not be enough to hold a marriage together, even though Lyons and hubby Vincent Mazeau paid $1.3M for the property in 2004." via curbed.com
