About this home
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....
