在前景高地历史区的中心，坐落着177号前景街，这是一幢独特而富有诗意的意大利风格褐石房屋，建立在罕见的162英尺地块上，拥有受野口勇启发的花园。

在自1871年建成以来的第四位业主的精心管理下，这座独特的独栋住宅经过精美修复和重新构思，是对昔日布鲁克林的赞歌，也是对过去与现在融合的优雅颂歌。这座房子曾被改造成三户住宅，历史细节被1960年代典型的油毡重设计所掩埋，但经过二十六年的灵感和投资，它重获新生。

原始的镶木地板、装饰性大理石壁炉和壁炉架、天花板线条和花纹、雕刻玻璃、胡桃木扶手和镜面现在都焕发出精致的光彩。修复后的意大利风格基础与历史精准的定制相得益彰：18扇定制的桃花心木框窗户，包括客厅层的双高窗户；前厅的石材切割自帝国大厦大堂剩余的最后一块大理石。改造后的吊灯悬挂在接近13英尺高的客厅楼层天花板上，为这座房屋营造出稀有的悬浮光线和空间感，甚至在同类20英尺的联排别墅中都显得独特。

在与房屋历史色调和谐相处的同时，完成了必要的现代化改造；丰富的自然材料在永恒的简约中显得格外耀眼。卧室楼层的胡桃木口袋门保持了开放感，同时包围着宁静的空间。浴室和洗衣房（配有通风的美诺洗衣机和干衣机）以莫莎瓷砖和胡桃木装饰，配有Corian围绕、Duravit洗手盆，以及来自Barber Wilsons UK的水龙头和配件。三区中央空调在铸铁格栅后无缝集成。

翻新一新的厨房是一个商业级空间，设计坚固耐用——配备了Marlo Manufacturing定制的橱柜和制冷设备，以及带通风的Jade“Supreme”重型炉灶——并且设计上注重温暖，配有来自纽约Alcove采石场的蓝石制成的木燃烧Rumford壁炉（同一块石头也被用于连接浴室的深层日本泡澡桶）。全玻璃帘墙使人沉浸在花园变化的光线中，带来室内外的无缝连接，白天和全年都能享受到自然的气息。

由Foras Studio设计的雕塑花园本身延伸超过100英尺，提供了用餐、梦想、锻炼和娱乐的独特区域。作为再生的奇迹，花园重新构思中没有任何可用材料离开现场：来自1960年代燃气壁炉的粗石新生作为一张引人注目的长椅，固定在162英尺的地块上；一棵在1970年代遭遇雷击仍幸存的老生长东部白松，现在庇护着三棵枫树，其幼苗来自于该地产找到的种子。几十年来存放在地下室的一台古老印刷机的组成部分被重新利用，转变为艺术健身和游玩的装饰与设备。花园配备了由LifeSource Irrigation安装的全自动地下灌溉系统。园中隐秘的铜灯具在整个晚上衬托出户外空间的宁静。

该住宅的内部同样以与外部美学相同的细致关怀进行整修，首先是对历史铸铁门廊扶手的全面重建和褐石外立面的修复。三区中央空调于2009年完成，同时房屋被改建为单户家庭的C of O。屋顶于2014年更换，2020年，由布鲁克林太阳能公司安装了地标区允许的最大数量的太阳能电池板。当时，计量装置被整合，锅炉房安装了符合新规的通风管道。锅炉于2021年更换，连接到外部城市下水管道的主污水管道于2016年完全更换。该住宅同样享有一系列优质设施。

At the epicenter of the Prospect Heights historic district sits 177 Prospect Place, a singular and poetic Italianate brownstone on a rare 162’ lot, with a Noguchi-inspired garden.

Exquisitely restored and reimagined under the stewardship of its fourth owner since the home was built in 1871, this distinctive single-family is both a paean to bygone Brooklyn and an elegant ode to the integration of past and present. Previously converted to a three-family – its historic details buried under a characteristically linoleum-heavy 1960s design – the home has been brought back to life over twenty-six years of inspiration and investment.

Original parquet floors, decorative marble fireplaces and mantelpieces, crown moldings and medallions, etched glass, walnut banisters, and pier mirrors now shine with exquisite care. The restored Italianate foundations are complemented by historically accurate customizations: 18 custom-built windows with mahogany frames, including double-height casements on the parlor level; foyer stone cut from the last slab of marble remaining from the lobby of the Empire State Building. Rewired chandeliers hang from nearly 13’ ceilings on the parlor floor, giving the home a quality of suspended light and space rare even amongst its fellow 20’ townhouses.

Essential modernizations have been made in harmony with the home’s historic palette; rich natural materials shine through in ageless simplicity. Walnut pocket doors across the bedroom floor maintain a sense of openness while enclosing serene spaces. The bathrooms and laundry room (with vented Miele washer and dryer) are finished in Mosa tile and walnut, with Corian surround, Duravit sinks, and faucets and fixtures from Barber Wilsons UK. Three-zone central air integrates seamlessly behind cast-iron grilles.

The gut-renovated kitchen, a commercial-grade space designed for indestructibility — with custom cabinetry and refrigeration by Marlo Manufacturing, and a vented Jade “Supreme” Heavy Duty Range — is also designed for warmth, with a wood-burning Rumford fireplace, fashioned from bluestone quarried in Alcove, NY (the same stone chosen for a deep Japanese soaking tub in the adjoining bath). A full glass curtain wall creates an immersion in the changing light of the garden, bringing the outdoors in, daylong and year-round.

The Foras Studio-designed sculptural garden itself stretches over 100’, providing distinct areas for dining and dreaming, exercising, and entertaining. A marvel of regeneration, no usable materials left the site in the garden’s reimagination: rough stone from a ‘60s gas fireplace found new life as a striking bench that anchors the 162’ lot; an old-growth Eastern White Pine, which survived a lightning strike in the 1970s, now shelters three maples, the younger planted from seedlings found on the property. Components salvaged from an antique printing press stored in the cellar for decades were repurposed into accents and equipment for artful fitness and play. The garden is equipped with a fully automatic inground irrigation system installed by LifeSource Irrigation. Discreet bronze light fixtures throughout the garden complement the peacefulness of the outdoor space all evening.

The home’s internals have been attended to with the same meticulous care as its external aesthetics, starting with a complete reconstruction of the historic cast iron stoop rail and restoration of the brownstone facade. Three-zone central air was completed in 2009, at the same time that the home was converted to a single-family C of O. The roof was replaced in 2014, and in 2020, the maximum allowable number of solar panels for the Landmark District were installed by Brooklyn SolarWorks. At that time, meters were consolidated, and new code-compliant ventilation conduit was installed from the boiler room. The boiler itself was replaced in 2021, and the main sewer piping connecting to the external city sewer line was fully replaced in 2016. The home also benefits from a
