Description

A Rare Grymes Hill Masterpiece nestled in the prestigious Grymes Hill section of Staten Island, this timeless residence—home to only two discerning owners—offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Built in 1936 as a faithful replica of the Sloane's House of the Years featured in House & Garden (October 1935), the home is a testament to design, craftsmanship, and enduring style. Step through the solid wood entry door into a dramatic double-height foyer, where a gracefully curved staircase of brass and iron rises above striking black-and-white marble inlaid floors. The handcrafted library, complete with a gas fireplace, original millwork, and wood paneling, reflects an era of refinement. Generously scaled rooms are filled with natural light through large windows, while multiple fireplaces and rich hardwood floors add warmth and elegance throughout. The formal dining room easily accommodates grand dinner parties, while the living room with French doors gently blends a bit of outdoor nature. A family room/sunroom as an extension adds additional space, and an atrium that provides inviting spaces for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. The updated kitchen combines timeless details with brass accents, and a breakfast bar with a dining area, while a powder room with Sherle Wagner fixtures adds a touch of luxury. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms and two full art deco-inspired bathrooms occupy the private level, complemented by attic storage. The lower level features a full basement with a large recreational and entertainment area, a gas fireplace, a fitness area, a second kitchen, cedar closets, and a full bath—ideal for extended gatherings or multi-generational living. and access to the yard. Outdoors, mature plantings frame a saltwater in-ground pool with fountains and bluestone surround, offering a private oasis. A long driveway, classic brick exterior, and slate roof complete the picture of this stately home. Designed by noted talents Dennis Rolland and Ruben de Saavedra, this residence is not only a home but a work of art--timeless, storied, and truly one-of-a-kind. Close to transportation to NYC. Cultural institutions include Snug Harbor Cultural Center, The St. George Theatre, Silver Lake Park, and Clove Lake Park. Exciting waterfront restaurants include Pastavino, Blue Pearl, Beso, Nonna's, Maizal, and more.
