At the end of the plaza, down Ebbitts Street, you will find our most recent home for sale: 211 Titus Avenue. If you thought it couldn’t get any better, being that the house is located in a great section of Staten Island, think again. This enormous two-family home makes for a great income potential or a home for a large, multi-generation family.

Vaulted Ceilings

Outside the house, you will find a large yard stretching from the main façade to the rear of the house. On the other side, you have a driveway, though there is much available parking on the street.  As you enter the house, you will find yourself in a common foyer, where you can access either apartment, as well as the basement.  In the fully-finished basement, you will find an open layout with a summer kitchen, a half-bathroom, and a laundry area already equipped with a washing machine and dryer.

As you make your way to the first floor, you will find yourself in the living room.  To your right is the roomy eat-in-kitchen, which has a full wall of beautiful, custom pantry-style cabinetry.  As you leave this room, you will enter the hallway which extends to the rear of the house. To your left, you will find two beautiful bedrooms. To your right, there will be one more bedroom adjacent to the full bathroom. Best of all, each room is impeccably maintained with hardwood floors.  Following this is the staircase to the full finished basement, as mentioned earlier; it features a laundry room, as well as a back door and a door to the second apartment. One Great feature about the homes set up is, both the upstairs and downstairs units have access to the basement through a common hallway. Consequently, that’s a rare find in many of the 6 over 6 and 6 over 5 homes on Staten Island.
 
When you reach the second floor, you will find that the layout is quite similar to the floor below, however, the vaulted ceilings in both the living room and bedrooms bring an uncanny sense of opulence to home.  The living room is in the same spot, but it is attached to the dining room, again, both rooms featuring vaulted ceilings.  The three bedrooms and beautifully-tiled full bathroom are in the same spots as below. However, instead of a

Master Bedroom with vaulted ceilings

staircase leading to the basement, you have a beautiful galley kitchen, which has ceramic tiles, a skylight, and new stainless steel appliances. Next to the kitchen is the laundry area, where you are already equipped with yet another washing machine and a dryer. Past this area, you have a back door and the same stairway you saw earlier, that leads to the common hallway with access to the basement.
 
Once again, the house is just south of Hylan Boulevard. Not only do you have the shopping options, but there are plenty of transportation options, as well. There are a handful of local and express buses that make their stops right on Hylan Boulevard, including a number of express busses ready to take you to Manhattan. Due to the fact that the house is located near Hylan Boulevard, you will be located near the beach, in addition to a number of parks, including Miller Field.
 
Additionally, there are a number of schools in the area which you may enroll your children in. The nearest public schools are P.S. 41, at 216 Clawson Street; I.S. 2, at 333 Midland Avenue; and Staten Island Technical High School, at 485 Clawson Street. Then, you have the Catholic schools, such as the St. Charles School, at 200 Penn Avenue; the Our Lady Queen of Peace School, at 22 Steele Avenue; and Monsignor Farrell High School, at 2900 Amboy Road. Furthermore, there are a few private schools in the area, such as the New Dorp Christian Academy, at 259 Rose Avenue, and the Richmondtown Preparatory School, at 2707 Hylan Boulevard.  If you would like to find out which schools your children may be zoned for, you can contact your local public school or School Administration for attendance requirements.
