Alas, while the Keith/Knobelsdorff thing seems okay, see my comment to Selena below for some doubts I developed regarding the letter.
But! Selena's Gundling write-up pointed me towards the Berliner Adresskalender, which mentions Peter for the first time in 1744, as honorary Academy member, "ObristLieutnant und Stallmeister" (this stays the same until his death), living "in der Brüderstrasse in der Frau v. Kniphausen Hause". From 1748 on, he's listed under Curatores, living "in der Frau von Knyphausen Hause hinten am Wasser hinter der Brüderstrasse". (From 1755 on it's "his" house, without the Knyphausen mention, but the same description. And in 1756 someone actually crossed out his name! :() Now, I don't know if with his ascension to curator, they just updated his address from "Brüderstrasse" to a more exact "at the waterside behind Brüderstrasse", especially because the Knyphausen thing stays the same, but the latter is how one could roughly describe the position of the Jägerhof I guess.
