Conceived by developer Dean Alvord in 1899 as a vision of the country within the city, Prospect Park South was planned as a suburban enclave of architecturally distinctive, freestanding homes, generous lots, and tree-lined streets. Attributed to architect H.B. Moore, the house draws inspiration from Stanford White’s Atlantic Yacht Club in Seagate. A two-story Ionic portico, 25-foot fluted columns, and eyebrow dormers define its distinctive silhouette. Featured in the AIA Guide to New York City, the residence is the most defining home in the historic district. Over the past decade, the current architect-owner has extensively restored the house, bringing it new life while preserving its architectural integrity. The original cedar clapboard siding, monumental columns, and front and rear porches were carefully restored, alongside what the New York Times called a "striking assortment of windows" (seventy-four in total – sixteen of which were replaced to match the original period detailing and now feature insulated glazing). Inside, new mechanical systems include concealed air conditioning across thirteen independent zones, twenty independently controlled heating zones, and radiant floor heating. Plumbing and electrical systems were replaced throughout, integrating modern performance within the original structure. Quarter-sawn oak floors, restored pocket doors, and intricate plasterwork establish the character of the interiors. Antique mantels and vintage lighting add detail throughout. A sweeping staircase rises from the foyer, where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the entry. An oak-and-leather library and curved parlor lead to the dining room, with its mahogany paneling, working gas fireplace, and views across the garden. Beyond the dining room, a 700-square-foot kitchen combines custom cabinetry, Calacatta quartzite, stainless steel work surfaces, and a marble farmhouse sink. Sub-Zero refrigeration, a professional Viking range, and a walk-in pantry feel inherent to the space. An antique limestone mantel frames another wood-burning fireplace, while French doors open onto a bluestone terrace and south-facing lawn, extending the kitchen outdoors. The second floor accommodates the primary suite, where oversized bow windows frame views of the house’s monumental columns. Herringbone Brazilian cherry floors define the bedroom, while a dressing room and custom closets provide dedicated storage. The en-suite bathroom pairs a clawfoot tub with oak cabinetry, intricate millwork, and treetop views. Four additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the floor. Originally a ballroom, the third floor features a cathedral ceiling, a 1905 billiards table, an antique bar, and a home theater. An antique spiral staircase leads to a skylit loft. Three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms provide further accommodation for guests. With its own private entrance, the English basement functions as a self-contained entertainment space. Exposed beams, a wood-burning fireplace, gym area, and cedar sauna are positioned alongside a secondary kitchen, guest bedroom and two full bathrooms. Outside, the front and rear porches have been rebuilt with new foundations and brick paver flooring, retaining the house’s original proportions and detailing. A fully enclosed garden, mature trees, and established hedging create a sense of seclusion. A gravel driveway and detached garage with electric-vehicle charging complete the property. Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds are two blocks away, and the B and Q trains are a five minute walk. The Gale House is a piece of collectible architecture unlike anything else you will find in New York. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 8 - **Total Baths**: 8 - **Rooms**: 22 - **Sqft**: 11,450 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1905 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,026 - **Monthly Taxes**: $2,188 / mo - **Listed On**: Oct 14, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 3 Days ### Residence Features - Gas Dryer Hookup - Driveway - Building Awning(s) - Building Barbecue - Building Lighting - Building Storage - Building Courtyard - Building Outdoor Grill - Building Balcony - Exterior Entry - Finished - Storage Space ### Building Amenities - Driveway ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$61,602 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($2,350,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96% (5 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 100% (5 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 88 days (5 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 52 days (5 sales) Based on house sales in Prospect Park South with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Sales data through June 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3050940001. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
