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

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.

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.

Living Room of Home on Rolling Hill Green

Living room/Dining room of home on located Rolling Hill Green

In 1970, Mayor Lindsay announced a proposal for the City’s first large-scale planned-unit development. This development, known as Village Greens, was originally planned to consist of nine “villages” of looped, one-way streets, which would be occupied by townhouses. For reasons unknown, possibly due to financial constraints, the community was built with fewer “villages” than expected. But that wasn’t the case with this particular development, which is what makes this area so unique. While the remaining streets may not be included in the community, they still have their own wonderful features and are just as beautiful as the Village Greens.

See the complete listing for 40 Rolling Hill Green.

One of the streets intended for the Village Greens community was Rolling Hill Green. On this street, you will find many beautiful houses, such as 40 Rolling Hill Green. Spectacularly, this spacious end-unit has just gone up for sale.
