这座宏伟的世纪之交豪宅于1905年由著名建筑师斯坦福·怀特的弟子H.B.摩尔为纽约工业家乔治·盖尔建造，灵感来源于怀特在西门海特的亚特兰大游艇俱乐部的开创性设计。盖尔豪宅在《美国建筑师学会纽约城市指南》中被列为特色，这对一座独立住宅来说是极为罕见的殊荣。它曾出现在众多电影和电视节目中，是布鲁克林最具标志性的住宅之一。

盖尔豪宅坐落在一个占地三分之一亩的繁茂私密的角落地块上，位于阿尔比马尔路，被《纽约时报》的克里斯托弗·格雷形容为“全城最壮观的住宅街道之一”。它是前景公园南历史区的皇冠明珠，这是一座生动的杰作，拥有高耸的两层门廊，顶端配有眉形天窗，并由25英尺高的凹槽柱支撑。这座住宅俯瞰着阿尔比马尔路沿线一系列具有建筑意义的房屋，这并不是一条普通的城市街道，而是一条公园般的林荫大道，周围有景观绿地。宁静的环境没有街边停车的干扰（不用担心，你有一个两车车库）。在周末的“开放街道”步行项目中，阿尔比马尔路变身为你自己的公园，离你的前门仅有几步之遥。前景公园和游行场仅有两个街区，适合更长的散步、跑步或骑自行车。粘土网球场、划船、足球场和骑马等活动，为这个独特的城市中的乡村环境增添了色彩。

盖尔豪宅由22个房间、9间卧室和7.5个浴室组成，是一座11,400平方英尺的拎包即住的家，经过其建筑师业主的精心恢复和翻新，配备了最先进的机械系统和材料，提供了新居的效率、舒适和奢华。令人惊叹的有顶门廊，以其巨大的规模和宏伟的设计欢迎您进入令人屏息的门厅，门厅展示了精美恢复的原始细节，包括宏伟的旋转楼梯和带有原始新古典主义壁炉 mantel 的工作壁炉——这个门厅不仅仅是一个过道，而是一个您会享受围坐于木火旁或接待客人的大空间。

阳光明媚的客厅拥有一座卡拉卡塔大理石马赛克壁炉，配有19世纪雕刻的木壁炉架和非常罕见的圆形镜子。房间内装饰着现代乔纳森·阿德勒的吊灯。通过红木嵌入式双开门进入相邻的雅致图书馆，沉浸在深色油漆的橡木和皮革护墙板、内置书架和定制橡木橱柜的奢华中。起居室的圆角突出老式壁灯，衬托出庄重的窗户和与维多利亚风格墙纸相得益彰的装饰边框。在贴有红木的餐厅中举办优雅的聚会，这里有一座壮观的铅玻璃展柜、工作的燃气壁炉和壮观的窗墙，展现出向花园和露台的宁静景观。

住宅的核心在于700平方英尺的厨师厨房，设备齐全，包括高端的Sub-Zero冰箱、Viking专业炉灶和双烤箱，以及三台Fisher Paykel洗碗机，巴黎式镜面玻璃背板、雕刻的大理石农场水槽、超硬的卡拉卡塔石英岩中央岛，饰有古董青铜吊灯、闪亮的不锈钢台面、定制橱柜以及普特南公司设计的橡木图书馆滑梯，最后的点睛之笔是来自苏格兰城堡的木柴壁炉和古董石灰石 mantel。通面积6人的明亮早餐角落为休闲用餐提供一个舒适的地点，法式门通向宽阔的蓝石露台，俯瞰着朝南的郁郁葱葱的草坪，这是户外用餐和亲密花园聚会的典范场所。

在二层，阳光洒满的天堂主套房

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.
