Rijetka prilika i pronalazak. Dobrodošli na 344 Westervelt Avenue, spomenik u NYC-u u St. George/New Brighton Staten Islandu. Ova velika kuća sagrađena je između 1880. i 1882. za August i Augustu Schoverling i proglašena je spomenikom New Yorka 2000. godine. Kuća se nalazi na uzvišenju na ogroman parceli sa 30 metara širine i 45 metara dubine (preko 1/3 akra ukupno). Tu je također trokutna garaža za tri automobila i parkiranje izvan ulice za do šest automobila. Ova kuća je jedna od najimpresivnijih i arhitektonski najistaknutijih kuća u stilu druge carstva u sjeveroistočnom Staten Islandu. Okućena u smeđoj-crvenoj cigli s mrljama željeza, ukrašena kamenim i drvenim detaljima, glavni izraz kuće je izbočeni toranj s prozorima na tri strane koji se nalazi pod kutom na jugoistočnom kutu kuće, najbolje mjesto za pogled na luku prema Tompkinsvilleu. Kasni primjerak stila druge carstva, kuća uključuje neoklasične ukrase koji su obrađeni s neobičnom sofisticiranošću i sadrži prekrasno obnovljenu terasu koja okružuje kuću, identičnu originalu. Trenutno je kuća podijeljena u pet apartmana s velikim prostranim dvostrukim dnevnim boravkom. Kuća može ostati kao investicijska nekretnina s pet obitelji ili vlasnik može zauzeti jedan od apartmana i i dalje imati odličan prihod. Za kupca orijentiranog na povijesnu zaštitu, ova jedinstvena kuća može se ponovno pretvoriti u spektakularnu obiteljsku vilu. Trenutno je najveći "apartman" na glavnom katu. Ovo je originalni grand ulaz koji se prelijeva u impresivni glavni dnevni boravak i formalnu blagovaonicu s visokim stropom, s prekrasno obnovljenim originalnim detaljima, dekorativnim kaminima i parketnim podovima. Tu je sjeverni dnevni boravak koji je trenutno glavna spavaća soba, druga stražnja spavaća soba, puna kupaonica i odvojena kuhinja s prozorom i perilicom posuđa. Kroz podove dnevnog boravka nalaze se originalni detalji, kamini i složeni drveni radovi te dekorativni stropni dijelovi. Dodajući mogućnosti kuće, tu je ogroman neuređen podrum s visokim stropom koji je nekada služio kao glavni ulaz kada je kuća preuređena za više obitelji 1930-ih godina. Može se obnoviti i pregraditi kao dodatni životni prostor, čime bi se apartman na glavnom katu pretvorio u veliki duplex. Iznad glavnog kata nalaze se četiri velika apartmana s jednom spavaćom sobom, s odvojenim bočnim ulazom za stanare, a također i originalne stepenice koje vode do glavnog kata ako netko odluči ponovno pretvoriti kuću u obiteljsku vilu. Svi apartmani su tijekom godina unaprijeđeni i imaju visoke stropove, odvojene modernizirane kuhinje, a neki imaju pogled na donji New York Bay i most Verrazano. Zgrada će biti isporučena prazna, a apartmani će biti spremni za najam. Fotografije apartmana dostupne na zahtjev.

Rare find and opportunity. Welcome to 344 Westervelt Avenue, a NYC Landmark in St. George/ New Brighton Staten Island.
This grand home was constructed between 1880 and 1882 for August and Augusta Schoverling and was dedicated a New York City Landmark in 2000. The home is situated on a hill top enormous lot with 100 ft. frontage and 150 ft. depth ( over 1/3 acre total). There is also a three car garage and off street parking for up to six cars.
This house is one of the most imposing and architecturally distinguished of the masonry Second Empire style houses in northeastern Staten Island. Faced in tawny-red iron-spot brick set off by stone and wood trim, the house's principal feature is a projecting tower-like bay with windows on three sides that is set on an angle at the southeast comer of the house, the best vantage point for views of the harbor looking towards Tompkinsville. A late example of the Second Empire style, the house incorporates neo-Greco ornament that is handled with unusual sophistication and features a beautifully restored wrap around porch identical to the original.
Currently the home is divided in five apartments with a large spacious double parlor floor. The home can remain as a 5 family investment property or an owner occupying one of the apartments and still have an excellent income producing investment. For the historic preservation minded buyer this unique home can be converted back to a spectacular one family mansion.
Currently the largest "apartment" is the main floor. This is the original grand entryway which flows to the impressive main parlor and formal dining room with high ceiling with beautifully restored original details, decorative mantels and parquet floors. There is the north parlor room which is currently the main bedroom, a second rear bedroom ,full bathroom and separate windowed kitchen with dishwasher.
Throughout the parlor floors are original details, fireplaces and intricate woodwork and decorative plaster details.
Adding to the possibilities of the home is an enormous unfinished basement with high ceiling that once served as the main entryway when the house was converted to a multifamily in the 1930's. It can be renovated and rebuilt as additional living space therefore changing the parlor floor apartment into a large duplex.
Above the main floor there are four large one bedroom apartments with a separate side entrance for the Tenants and also the original staircase to the main floor if someone was to turn the house back to a one family mansion. All the apartments have been upgraded over the years and have high ceilings, separate updated kitchens and some have views of Lower New York Bay and the Verrazano Bridge. The building will be delivered vacant and the apartments will be all rental market ready. Apartment photos available upon request.
