Mansyòn majesty sa a ki nan vire syèk la te bati pou endistri New York George Gale an 1905 pa H.B. Moore, yon disip achitèk ki fè renome Stanford White, enspire pa desen enpòtan White nan Atlantic Yacht Club nan Seagate. Mansyòn Gale a ap parèt nan Gid Enstiti Ameriken Achitèk yo nan New York City, yon distenksyon ra pou yon kay ki pou yon sèl fanmi. Li te parèt nan plizyè fim ak emisyon televizyon, e se youn nan kay ki pi ikonik nan Brooklyn.

Sitou sou yon tyè akar, yon teren anrichi ak prive ki grandi sou yon kwen sou Albemarle Road, ki te dekri pa Christopher Gray nan The New York Times kòm "youn nan pi gwo lari rezidansyèl yo nan tout vil la", kanpe Mansyòn Gale a, Pèlen Kouwòn nan Distri Istorik Prospect Park Sid, yon pèfòmans exuberant ak yon portico de de etaj ki gen tèt ak demou fòs ak ki sipòte pa kolòn fluted ki gen 25 pye. Kay sa a se tèt tout yon seri kay ki gen enpòtans achitekti ki fè liy sou Albemarle Road, ki se pa yon lari vil nòmal, men yon boulevad ki sanble ak yon pak ak espas vèt paye. Anviwònman kalm nan pa sali ak pakin sou wout ki pa pèmèt (pa enkyete w, ou gen yon garaj pou 2 machin). Pandan pwogram "lari ouvè" pou pye sou wikenn, Albemarle Road transfòme an pak pwòp ou a, jis kèk etap soti nan pòt ou. Prospect Park ak Parade Grounds se sèlman de blòk lwen pou mache pi lontan, kouri, oswa monte bisiklèt. Tenis sou kouròl argil, kannòt, teren foutbòl, ak monte chwal konplete anviwònman inik sa a, peyi nan vil la.

Mansyòn Gale a gen 22 chanm, 9 chanm dòmi ak 7.5 twalèt, se yon kay ki gen 11,400 pye kare, ki tout reyalize ak renove nan yon degre ki detaye anpil pa achitèk-lwa li, ki enkli sistèm mekanik ak materyèl ki bay efikasite, konfò ak liks lan nan yon kay nèf.

Porch ki enspire admirasyon an, yon spektak nan gwo echèl ak grandeur, akeyi ou nan sal dantè ki pran souf la ki se yon montre detay orijinal ki byen restore ki enkli gwo eskalye ki tonbe ak lafimen ki mache ak mantè neoklasik orijinal li – sal sa a se pa yon senp koridò, men yon gwo chanm ou pral renmen pase tan nan bò dife bwa a, oswa resevwa envite fèt yo.

Sal k ap benyen nan solèy la gen yon fireplace mozaik Calacatta ak yon mantè an bwa ki fèt nan 19yèm syèk la ak yon twal mi won trè ra. Chanm nan se akente pa yon chandelye modèn Jonathan Adler. Antre nan bibliyotèk atiran ki nan bò a atravè pòt doub poche an mawon, epi pran plezi nan wainscoting wòch ak kwi ki gen rich koulè, etajè liv ki bati-an ak kabinè mawon ki fèt espesyal. Sal pòt la, ak kwen awondi, soulinye sconces epòk ki fè fondasyon fenèt ki anwo e ki gen mèb ornament ki konplete papye miray enspire Victorian. Òganize soti nan elegant fèt nan sal manje ki panèl mawon ak yon gwo tèt glas ki fèt ak vè, fireplace gaz ki mache, ak yon miray fenèt ki montre yon vi trankil nan jaden an ak patio a.

Kè kay la ap tann nan kwizin chef ki gen 700 pye kare ki ekipe ak aparèy ki pi avanse – ki gen ladan yon frijidè Sub-Zero, yon Viking pro-range ak de fou, ak 3 lave veso Fisher Paykel – yon backplash vè ki sanble ak Paris, yon lavabo ferme ki fèt nan marb ki fèt, yon zile sant Calacatta quartzite ki trè di ak chandelye an bronz ansyen, kontwa asye mou pou sote, kabinè ki fèt an mawon, yon echel bibliyotèk mawon ki roulen pa Putnam & Co, ansanm ak touche final la- yon fireplace ki mache ak bwa ak mantè an wòch ansyen ki sòti nan yon chato nan Skotland. Yon ti kwen dejene k ap chita 6, bay yon kote konforab pou manje ensousyante, ak atravè pòt Frèch yo se yon teras blustone ki elaji ki gade sou yon pelou verdisan ki ap fè fas a sid, anviwònman eksepsyonèl pou manje deyò ak fèt jaden entim.

Sou dezyèm etaj la, paket solèy la ap fè klere dans la.

This majestic turn-of-the-century mansion was built for the New York Industrialist George Gale in 1905 by H.B. Moore, a disciple of famed architect Stanford White, inspired by White’s seminal design of the Atlantic Yacht Club in Seagate. The Gale Mansion is featured in the American Institute of Architects Guide to New York City, a rare distinction for a single-family house. It has appeared in numerous feature films and television shows, and is one of the most iconic homes in Brooklyn.

Situated on a third of an acre, a lush and private sprawling corner parcel on Albemarle Road, which was described by The New York Times’ Christopher Gray as “one of the grandest residential streets in the whole city”, stands the Gale Mansion, the Crown Jewel of the Prospect Park South Historic District, an exuberant masterpiece with a towering two-story portico crowned by eyebrow dormers and supported by soaring, 25' foot fluted columns. This home presides over an impressive array of architecturally significant houses that line Albemarle Road, no ordinary city street, but a park-like boulevard with a landscaped greenspace. The serene setting is not sullied by on-street parking which is not allowed (do not fret, you have a 2-car garage). During the “open street” pedestrian program on weekends, Albemarle Road transforms into your very own park, just steps from your front door. Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds are only two blocks away for longer walks, runs, or bike rides. Clay court tennis, paddle boats, soccer fields, and horseback riding round out this unique country-in-the-city setting.

The Gale Mansion, comprised of 22 rooms, 9 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, is an 11,400 square foot turnkey home, entirely restored and renovated to a meticulous degree by its architect-owner, including state of the art mechanical systems and materials that provide the efficiency, comfort and luxury of a brand new home.
The awe inspiring, covered porch, a spectacle of colossal scale and grandeur welcomes you into the breathtaking foyer that is a showcase of beautifully restored original detail including the sweeping, grand staircase and the working fireplace with its original neoclassical mantel- this foyer is no mere hallway, but a grand room you will enjoy spending time in by the wood fire, or receiving party guests.

The sun-drenched living room boasts a Calacatta marble mosaic fireplace with a 19th century carved wood mantel and very rare round over-mirror. The room is accented by a modern Jonathan Adler chandelier. Enter the adjacent handsome library through the mahogany pocket double doors, and luxuriate in the richly stained oak and leather wainscoting, built-in bookshelves and custom oak cabinetry. The parlor, with rounded corners, highlights period sconces that frame stately windows and ornamental trim that complements Victorian inspired wallpaper. Host elegant soirées in the mahogany-paneled dining room with a splendid leaded glass breakfront, working gas fireplace, and magnificent wall of windows that reveals a tranquil view to the garden and patio.
The heart of the home awaits in the 700-square-foot chef’s kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances—including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking pro-range and double oven, and 3 Fisher Paykel dish washers—a Parisian mirror-glass backsplash, a carved marble farm sink, a super-hard, natural Calacatta quartzite center island adorned by antique bronze chandeliers, gleaming stainless steel countertops, bespoke cabinetry, an oak library rolling ladder by Putnam & Co, as well as the finishing touch- a wood-burning fireplace and antique limestone mantel sourced from a castle in Scotland. An airy breakfast nook seating 6, provides a cozy spot for casual dining, and through the French doors is an expansive bluestone terrace overlooking a lushly landscaped south-facing lawn, the quintessential setting for alfresco dining and intimate garden parties.
