The PreReal, Prendamano Real Estate, together with Anthony Volpe, are proud to announce that we have SOLD 63 Arbutus Ave!

 

Tucked away in the Huguenot neighborhood of Staten Island, 63 Arbutus Ave is a hidden gem. This cozy 4 bedroom Cape style home sits on nearly 1/2 acre of land adjacent to protected woods. Situated on a quiet road this property had enormous potential to be redeveloped. The sellers who had lived there for nearly 30 years understood the allure a developer would have to subdivide and put two to three homes on the property but deep down wished that a single family would be the next buyer to enjoy the bucolic property as a single family estate.
