Harbor and Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge views
The setting comes first. From its spot on Grymes Hill, this home looks out over New York Harbor and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, framed by established trees and landscaping. Multiple balconies, including a wraparound balcony off the kitchen, bring those views into everyday life. For anyone searching for a Verrazzano Bridge view home or a New York Harbor view house on Staten Island, the view is the headline feature here.
Inside the home
Main living level
Hardwood floors run through the main living spaces, which center on a dual-sided fireplace shared by two rooms. The eat-in kitchen has a center island and opens straight onto the wraparound balcony, so the harbor is part of the view from the kitchen. Central air, a sprinkler system and 220-volt service are already in place, and the kitchen and laundry come equipped with a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer.
Bedrooms
This 5-bedroom house on Staten Island spreads its five bedrooms across three finished levels, and the listing includes walk-in closets. The layout gives each part of the home room to breathe.
Two finished lower levels
This is where the home sets itself apart. The two finished lower levels add a long list of dedicated spaces:
- A family room with a second fireplace
- A billiard area and a custom wet bar
- A wood-lined wine room
- An exercise space
- A home office
Movie nights, a game of pool, a workout or a quiet hour at the desk: each one has its own place, without taking over the main living level.
Outdoor space: pool, decking and pergola
As a Staten Island home with a pool, 281 Howard Avenue makes the most of its 14,740 sq ft lot. A swimming pool sits alongside expansive decking and a pergola, with established trees around the property. An attached garage and paver driveway handle parking, and the brick and wood-sided exterior keeps a classic look.
