Amazing 20 foot wide condo in Rossville
When it comes to condominiums, the idea that they are small usually resonates with most potential buyers-not to mention dismissing the notion of owning a condo based on a variety of other factors like maintenance costs and such. While it might be true in certain instances, it’s surely not with our latest listing located on 35 Arrowood Dr.
See the complete listing for 35 Arrowood Dr.
First let’s start with the homes dimensions: it stands at 20 feet wide and 35 feet deep. Basically, that’s unparalleled by many semi-attached homes on Staten Island, which
There is plenty of room to move about in this homes living room/dining room combo
usually don’t exceed more than 18 feet wide–and even that stands on the larger side. So, if your emphasis is size, there is little in the way of accomplishing that in this particular condo. As a matter of fact, this unit happens to be an end unit, making it rare for both size and availability within the Woodbrooke Estates community.
Size alone isn’t just this home’s selling point; it’s an assortment of great factors that make the purchase of the home of particular value to its next homeowner. The community itself provides an array of great features that are covered under the home’s maintenance cost. Let’s start with the Olympic sized pool, and never having to have the chore of maintaining your own pool. Part of owning that house includes having to foot the bill for electricity. If you haven’t owned a pool, it’s not fun picking up the blue colored envelope in the mail come July, August and September. Also, let’s not forget that the development also has a lifeguard assigned to the pool during the summer months.
Living Room of 35 Arrowood Ct.
The development also has a children’s playground, tennis courts, and provides the snow removal services during the winter months. Consequently, when you figure the costs of having to hire the associated services with a standard home, the cost for maintenance costs is rather nominal, which is approximately $250 a month.
Let’s look at the home itself: outside you will find that the current homeowner took a great amount of time keeping the landscaping manicured to near perfection. The home, like I stated earlier, is an end unit. So not only does it have a front yard, it also has a side and backyard. Speaking of, the back yard is as large as you’ll find in the development. The condo’s backyard is accessible from sliding glass doors from the basement. The yard also has a paver patio next to the home, with the benefit of an almost new retractable awning.
Let’s look at what this home has from the point of entry, which is of course the front door. Upon entering, it brings you to the combination living/dining room. This is where the 20

foot wide end unit shows its prowess over other units within the condo development. First the space gives you the feel of a completely open layout. Even if you’re hosting a number of guests, the space won’t have you or your guests feeling cramped. Not to forget mentioning the unit being an end unit, natural light is able to spill in from the home’s side window. It’s a feature that enhances the unit’s openness.
The home has received tens of thousands in upgrades.
Just off the dining room you will find the home’s completely renovated ½ bath. While we’re on the renovation of this bathroom, let’s look at some of the

Inside Gardenia Ln. Condo listed at RealEstateSINY.com
Convenience just got a whole new meaning. Most people come to New York City for, well, the City. The closest you will get on Staten Island is St. George. You have stores galore, as well as the major transportation hub. But if you prefer to have all that without the nuisance of trying to find a parking spot, you may want to find something closer to the center of the Island.
In the community of Heartland Village, you will find Staten Island’s second largest transportation hub, as well as the major shopping district. Here, you have the Staten Island Mall, where you have a number of retail outlets, aswell as restaurants and other wonderful places. You don’t have to live in St. George or even Manhattan to have the luxury of being able to walk where you need to—you can just reside in Heartland Village.
And what luck! Our latest listing is located less than what would be 3 city blocks from the mall! See the complete listing for 73 Gardenia Ln.
73 Gardenia Lane gives you everything you need and so much more. When you walk through the beautifully-tiled entrance, you will find a large, walk-in storage closet to your left, beside a living room. In this beautiful living room, you will find a large picture window with wooden venetian blinds and crown molding. Just past this room, you will find the eat-in-kitchen, which has ceramic tiles, recessed lighting, and a lovely pantry. Between these two rooms, you will find a hallway leading to the other rooms of this wonderful home. To your left, you will find the laundry room, where you are already equipped with a washing machine and a dryer, followed by yet another closet. On the other side, you will find the enormous bedroom, which has an equally-large double-closet. Lastly, you have the oversized bathroom, which has been recently renovated.

Well, if not, you’re about to change your mind with our newest listing—125 Oceana Drive West #6C.

In addition to this, our listing offers views of the ocean from all of its rooms.

uring the latter part of the nineteenth century, the southern portion of land in Brooklyn, which is currently located below the Shore Parkway, was converted into a beach resort. By 1910, the hotels began to close down as amusement parks began to open. Eventually, there were no longer any hotels and the “summer resort” only welcomed residents of New York City who would visit for just a day. By the twentieth century, however, all that began to change.
At the turn of the century, the Muss Development Company decided to bring summer resorts back to Brooklyn using a fifteen-acre site. On the site, the company decided not to build a hotel, but rather an oceanfront community. Between 2001 and 2007
, a fifteen-building condominium complex was constructed in the Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn. The complex was quite a switch from what residents of the City were used to seeing. In fact, in 2003, it was a finalist for the National Association of Home Builders award due to its architectural beauty. While it did not win, it certainly turned some heads.
The complex is known as Oceana Condominium and Club. It is situated right above the beach and is home to 865 apartments. Past the gated entryway to the complex, which is guarded twenty-four hours a day, chamomile grows next to the sidewalks. Chamomile, as you may know, is known for its stress-relieving aroma, which added to the relaxation sensation of a summer resort.

With exercise rooms, massage rooms, Olympic-sized pools, saunas and more, why would you ever want to leave your house? This condominium is truly the perfect place to raise a family.
Now that we’ve enthusiastically told you about the breathtaking exterior features of the home, it’s time to talk about the jaw-dropping interior. I can’t even get into every detail about the house because everything—and I
Read moreAlmost dead-center on Staten Island, New Springville has become one of the most popular places to be, aside from in St. George, its a community that has the highest concentration of Condominiums. During the latter half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood developed quite a bit from its rural past. Once the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge opened in 1964, many attached and detached homes were built, in addition to condominiums. Putting these lovely houses aside, in 1973, the Staten Island Mall opened in the area. Today, there are a number of high-ranches and plazas surrounding the Mall.
The top sale for New Springville was in October for a two-family home that sold for $525,000. This home is at 30 Bowdoin Street and was constructed in 1970. There is about twenty-five hundred square feet of interior living space on forty-two hundred square feet of property. The following top sale was in September for $461,000. This is another two-family home at 8 Rockville Avenue, which was also constructed in 1970. This home is just slightly smaller; it is situated on four thousand square feet of property and has about twenty-five hundred square feet of living space.
The lowest sale was for $140,000 in the beginning of October at 80 Richmond Hill Road #5H, which is generally considered Heartland Village, but New York City does not classify it as such. It is a condo that was built in 1988 and only has seven hundred square feet of living space.
