One thing I’ve learned about the neighborhood of Great Kills is that the word “Great” does not refer solely to the body of water which it was named after. Rather, it refers to the variety of opportunities homeowners have just by living in the neighborhood. There is a diversity of housing options, a number of transportation options, and many places to shop and eat, which all cater to the community’s residents. It is in this wonderful neighborhood that you will find our newest—and equally as wonderful—listing: 303 Abingdon Avenue.

house. Once you enter the home, you will find a large coat closet to your right. To your left, you will be greeted with a large, framed opening for borrowed light, where you can look into the living room. Just from the view, you can see how warm and inviting this room is, with its lovely bay window. From here, you can step down into the freshly-painted family room, where you will find a half-bathroom and a closet. Next to this set of stairs, you can walk up to the formal dining room, which is just off the kitchen. In this eat-in-kitchen, you will find new maple cabinets, a ceramic-tiled floor, and windows, including a garden window above the sink. In this room, you will also find a back door, where you will be lead onto a large deck. From here, you can walk down into the yard, which you will find has more than enough room for a pool. Back inside, you can step up to the area where you will find the huge master bedroom, which has His and Hers closets. You will also find the recently-renovated full

bathroom, which has a linen closet. From here, you can step up to the next area, where you will find two more bedrooms. The first bedroom is average-sized, with a large window. The next also has a window, but you will find that it has plenty of room for a queen-sized bed. In the basement of the house (yes, there is also a basement), you will find a large, semi-finished room. Here, you have your basic utilities, as well as a washing machine and a dryer.
The exterior of the house was given a new roof and heating and cooling system in 2000. Three years later, the siding was redone. If you thought it couldn’t get any better than this, just wait. Throughout the house you will find hardwood flooring, crown molding, and recessed lighting. You will also find that the windows you have admired are Anderson windows and the appliances you are equipped with are stainless steel appliances. This beautiful home is also equipped with an alarm system. With everything you’ve heard about the house, I’d say it’s move-in ready, wouldn’t you?
You wouldn’t have to worry about your kids getting to school, or having to sit in traffic while traveling to work in Manhattan, as there are a few buses in the area catering to these causes. One block to the left of the house, on Armstrong Avenue, you will find two express buses: the x7 and the x8, which travel into Midtown and Lower Manhattan, respectively. If you walk up to Arthur Kill Road, you can access the s74 bus stop, where you can take the bus to the St. George Ferry Terminal or the Bricktown Mall, and the x15, where you have yet another bus that travels into Lower Manhattan. Further northwest, you also have the Eltingville Transit Center, where you have a handful of other local and express buses.
Another thing you need not concern yourself with is educational options. Some of the best schools are located in the area—you just have to call your local public school to find out which school your child may be zoned for. Some of the public schools include P.S. 32, at 32 Elverton Avenue; I.S. 24, at 225 Cleveland Avenue; and the College of Staten Island High School for International Studies, at 100 Essex Drive. The Catholic schools in the area include the St. Clare School, at 151 Lindenwood Road; St. Patrick’s School, at 3560 Richmond Road; and Monsignor Farrell High School, at 2900 Richmond Road. Then, you also have a number of private schools, including the Eltingville Lutheran School, at 300 Genesee Avenue; the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School, at 400 Caswell Avenue; and the Francis School, at 4240 Amboy Road. The schools mentioned here should only be used as a point of reference and may not be those this particular home is zoned for, nor its attendance eligibility requirements. Consult your local public school board or administration for specific attendance requirements for this or any home you are considering to purchase.
