172 St Pauls Avenue, Staten Island, NY, 10301 New York City NY US

Imagine living in one of Staten Island's historic treasures. 172 St. Pauls Avenue is one of the rare existing examples of Greek Revival homes from the early mid-1800's and the very first home built in what is now known as the Historic Stapleton District. Once the rectory for the original St. Paul's Church, 172 St. Paul's Avenue is now a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home that has been thoughtfully restored and beautifully renovated, blending old-world charm like original pressed tin ceilings and marble fireplaces with modern upgrades like radiant heat floors and a spacious kitchen.In 2021, the landscaping of this 75 x 100 foot property was designed by David Glick, a landscape designer and president of the Historic Mud Lane Society, of which the house is a member. There is an ancient Magnolia tree which provides gorgeous blooms in the Spring and carpets the lawn with pink petals afterwards. In a 2020 renovation, the exterior of the home was restored to the original cedar plank which was revealed after 2 layers of siding were removed. Also restored were the 4 stately columns so characteristic of the Greek Revival style. At that time, a new roof was installed and a new porch was built. The entire house was painted in 2021. A custom iron railing was designed by local welder and artist, Scott Van Campen and installed in the Spring of 2022. As you enter through the original double front doors into the spacious center hall with parquet floors, the living room and dining room are to the left and right. They are beautifully proportioned rooms and are mirrors of each other with original marble fireplaces, floor to ceiling windows, decorative tin ceilings, and parquet flooring with inlay borders. The sizes of both rooms allow for comfortable family dinners as well as full-on holiday entertaining!The first floor also features a beautifully appointed kitchen and family room/sunroom both completely redesigned and renovated in 2016.
