Antre nan yon moso istwa Brooklyn ak rezidans sa a ki espektakilè, ki te kòmanse konstwi an 1886 pa machann renome John Gibb. Li te konsevwa pa frè Parfitt ki te celebre – achitèk enpòtan nan epòk yo – kay sa a se yon egzanp ra ak bèl anpil ki prezève byen nan achitèk Queen Anne. Yon rezidans legal pou de fanmi, li te retabli nan konfigirasyon orijinal li kòm yon sèl fanmi.

Depi moman ou rive, 246 Gates Avenue fè yon deklarasyon. Li settoye soti nan lari a ak yon jaden devan, eksteryè a montre yon melanj frapan de brik wouj anglè ak blòk mawon rich, ki amelyore ak detay tèra-kot ki add chalè, tekstur, ak elegans ki p ap janm disparèt. Atizana detay sa a montre grandè achitèk nan fen 19yèm syèk la pandan l ap ofri yon akèy cho pou pwochen chapit li.

Jodi a, karakteristik sa a bay yon repons enteresan sou epòk sa a ki pase. Pandan tout kay la, plafon wo, travay detay konplike, planch bwa orijinal, ak finisman ki byen prezève pale sou pase istwa kay la, pandan espas lavi jansè yo bay konfò ak fonksyonalite modèn. Chwazi kòman ou pral sèvi ak anpil chanm espasyal li yo nan twazyèm, katriyèm, ak senkyèm etaj – soti nan chanm, pou yon etid, pou yon atelye, pou yon jimnazyòm. Kit ou ap resevwa envite nan mitan salon an, ap jwi maten trankil nan kwizin nan ki gen limyè solèy la ak espasyal, ap detann nan jaden dèyè ki trankil, oswa menm jwi yon jwèt bilard nan senkyèm etaj la, rezidans sa a ofri yon melanj inik de cham istorik ak liks vivab.

Rezidans sa a ofri libète ak trankilite nan lavi yon sèl fanmi. Si ou pito, pwofite de plan li ki lajè ak plizyè eskalye, epi kreye yon rezidans prensipal kat etaj, ak yon gwo jaden pou lwe.

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.
