Zakoračite u komad brooklynske povijesti s ovom izvanrednom rezidencijom, prvotno izgrađenom 1886. godine od strane poznatog trgovca Johna Gibba. Dizajnirana od strane poznatih arhitekata braće Parfitt – istaknutih arhitekata svog vremena – ova kuća je rijedak i lijepo očuvani primjer arhitekture u stilu kraljice Anne. Legalna dvoporodična rezidencija, obnovljena je u svoju prvotnu konfiguraciju jedne obiteljske kuće.

Od trenutka kada stignete, 246 Gates Avenue ostavlja dojam. Odmaknuta od ulice vrtom ispred, vanjština predstavlja upečatljivu kombinaciju engleske crvene opeke i bogatog smešnog kamena, obogaćena ukrasnim terakotskim detaljima koji dodaju toplinu, teksturu i bezvremensku eleganciju. Pomna izrada fasade odražava arhitektonsku veličinu kasnog 19. stoljeća dok nudi srdačnu dobrodošlicu u svoje sljedeće poglavlje.

Unutra, kuća nudi opseg i stil obiteljskog života koji brzo nestaje u New York Cityju. Periodni detalji su posvuda. S originalnim ugrađenim policama, kliznim vratima, dekorativnim kaminima i ugrađenim barom, cijeli trostrani parlorski nivo pruža savršeno okruženje za svakodnevne obiteljske aktivnosti i elegantno zabavljanje u posebnim prilikama. Originalne dvostruke stepenice od parlorskog nivoa do trećeg kata nekada su služile interesima privatnosti i učinkovitosti stanovnika i njihovih domaćih zaposlenika. Danas, taj detalj pruža fascinantan odjek tog doba. Kroz cijelu kuću, visoki stropovi, složene obloge, originalni drveni podovi i pažljivo očuvane završne obrade govore o bogatoj prošlosti doma, dok prostrani životni prostori pružaju udobnost i funkcionalnost modernog doba. Odaberite kako ćete koristiti mnoge prostrane sobe na trećem, četvrtom i petom katu – od spavaćih soba, do radne sobe, do umjetničkog studija, do teretane. Bilo da ugostite goste u srednjem parlorsu, uživate u mirnim jutarnjim satima u sunčanom i prostranom kuhinjskom prostoru, opuštate se u mirnom vrtu ili čak uživate u igri biljara na petom katu, ova rezidencija nudi jedinstvenu kombinaciju povijesnog šarma i udobnog luksuza.

Ova rezidencija nudi slobodu i mir obiteljskog života. Ako želite, iskoristite njezin prostrani raspored i višestruke stepenice, i stvorite glavnu četverokatnu rezidenciju s velikim iznajmljivim vrtom. Idealno smještena na drvećem okruženom bloku gdje se Clinton Hill susreće s Bedford-Stuyvesantom, 246 Gates Avenue nalazi se u srcu jednog od najpoželjnijih kvartova Brooklyna. U udaljenosti ste samo nekoliko trenutaka od Fort Greene Parka, poznatih restorana, butika i raznih opcija prijevoza – uključujući G, A, C i S vlakove — što vaše putovanje i istraživanje grada čini bez napora.

Step into a piece of Brooklyn history with this exquisite residence, originally built in 1886 by renowned merchant John Gibb. Designed by the celebrated Parfitt Brothers – prominent architects of their time – this home is a rare and beautifully preserved example of Queen Anne architecture. A legal two-family residence, it has been restored to its original single-family configuration.

From the moment you arrive, 246 Gates Avenue makes a statement. Set back from the street by a front yard garden, the exterior showcases a striking blend of English-style red brick and rich brownstone, enhanced with ornate terra-cotta detailing that adds warmth, texture, and timeless elegance. The facade’s meticulous craftsmanship reflects the architectural grandeur of the late 19th century while offering a warm welcome to its next chapter.

Inside, the house offers a scope and style of single family living fast disappearing in New York City. Period details abound. With original built-in bookcases, pocket doors, decorative fireplaces, and a built-in bar, the entire triple parlor level provides the perfect setting for daily family activities, and elegant entertaining on special occasions. The original stacked double staircase from the parlor level to the third floor once served the privacy and efficiency interests for the residents and their domestic employees. Today, the feature provides a fascinating echo of that bygone time. Throughout the house, tall ceilings, intricate moldings, original hardwood floors, and carefully preserved finishes speak to the home’s storied past, while generous living spaces provide modern-day comfort and functionality. Choose how you will use its many spacious rooms throughout the third, fourth, and fifth floors – from bedrooms, to a study, to an art studio, to a gym. Whether you’re hosting guests in the middle parlor, enjoying quiet mornings in the sunlit and spacious eat-in kitchen, relaxing in the peaceful backyard garden, or even enjoying a game of pool on the fifth floor, this residence offers a unique blend of historic charm and livable luxury.

This residence offers the freedom and tranquility of single-family living. If you prefer, take advantage of its expansive layout and multiple staircases, and create a four-story primary residence, with a large garden rental. Ideally situated on a tree-lined block where Clinton Hill meets Bedford-Stuyvesant, 246 Gates Avenue is in the heart of one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods. You're just moments from Fort Greene Park, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shops, and a variety of transit options – including the G, A, C, and S trains—making your commute and city exploration effortless.
