172 St Pauls Avenue

172 St. Paul's Avenue is a spacious, light filled 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home that has been thoughtfully restored and beautifully renovated. Once the rectory for the original St. Paul's Church, beautiful 172 St. Paul's Avenue has New York City landmark status. It is one of the rare existing examples of Greek Revival homes from the early mid-1800's and is located in the St. Paul's Avenue/Stapleton Heights Historic District. Convenient distance to all transportation, Staten Island Railroad, the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, St. George Theater and Empire Outlets and the Ferryhawks ballpark. Please see additional supplemental remarks. The first floor features a huge entry hall flanked by the formal living room to the left, and formal dining room to the right. Both are beautifully proportioned rooms with original marble mantels, floor to ceiling windows, decorative tin ceilings, and hardwood parquet flooring with inlaid borders. Hardwood flooring can also be found throughout the rest of the home. In addition, the first floor features a well appointed modern kitchen, (renovated in 2016), with stainless appliances, Carrara marble counter tops and a slate floor with radiant heating as well as a renovated ½ bathroom with pressed tin walls and an over/under washer dryer set. Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room/sun room, (also redesigned and renovated in 2016), featuring a gas fireplace, a vaulted ceiling and access to the side yard and patio. The second floor stairs, (with a handmade custom art railing), lead to the spacious primary bedroom with a fully renovated, hotel-style en suite ¾ bathroom, as well as the two additional large bedrooms and a shared ¾ bathroom off the hallway. In a 2020 renovation, the exterior of the home was restored to the original cedar plank siding along with restoration of the four stately porch columns, maintaining the characteristic Greek Revival style of this historic home. At that time, a new roof was installed and a new porch was built as well. The entire house was painted in 2021. A custom iron railing was installed along the front porch in the Spring of 2022. This home also features a large beautifully landscaped yard and a one car garage/ one car length driveway for off street parking. There is also a full, unfinished large basement with a recent gas boiler and hot water heater.
