Park Slope's Pepto-Bismol house is on the market.

Bernie Henry,
92, gained fame and infamy in the neighborhood three years ago when he
slapped a coat of hot pink paint on the four-story Garfield Place
brownstone where he's lived for almost 50 years.

He put the house up for sale last month because the space is too big for him and his wife.

"I'm
92. It's time to get rid of it," he said. "It's a lot of money to keep
it up … I'm going to buy a smaller house around the corner."

Henry,
a retired tailor, said he never meant to get his neighbors' hackles up
with the brilliant hue: He was just trying to replicate the house's
more subdued shade of pink that it wore since the 1960s.

"They sent me the wrong paint," he said. "It was painted this color accidentally."

Still,
the bubblegum brownstone has its perks. "It made me a star," Henry
said. "I didn't know paint would get me on every TV station in New York."

The
asking price for the house is $2.3 million. Henry doesn't remember how
much he paid for it in 1961, but houses on the block at the time were
going for well under $50,000.

About 40 potential buyers have
viewed the brownstone so far – and that doesn't count curiosity seekers
who just wanted a peek inside the most colorful house on the block.
