311 Howard Avenue

Welcome to 311 Howard Avenue, an impressive all-brick expanded Cape accessible along its own private road in the distinguished Grymes Hill section of Staten Island. Set at a picturesque elevation and surrounded by some of the borough's most notable architecture, educational institutions, and cultural destinations, this four-bedroom, four-bath residence offers a rare combination of character, space, privacy, and convenience. From the moment you arrive, the home has a sense of permanence and old-world charm that is increasingly difficult to find. Beautiful hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace, generously proportioned rooms, and an abundance of windows create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout. The expanded kitchen offers exceptional functionality with extensive counter space, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond, a sun-drenched dining area is framed by oversized windows, creating an inviting setting filled with natural light and views of the surrounding hillside. All four bedrooms are comfortably sized, while the home's four bathrooms provide flexibility for both family and guests. A walk-out basement adds another dimension of usable space and connects seamlessly to the property's multiple outdoor entertaining areas. The elevated setting is one of the home's defining features, offering a peaceful, established atmosphere along with seasonal views of the Verrazzano Bridge. Ideally positioned near Wagner College and Casa Belvedere, and only minutes from the Staten Island Expressway and Verrazzano Bridge, Howard Avenue offers convenient access to Brooklyn and Manhattan while maintaining the privacy and architectural character for which Grymes Hill is known. For buyers seeking more space, privacy, and enduring craftsmanship without sacrificing proximity to New York City, this lovely home represents a compelling alternative to Brooklyn living and a rare opportunity to own in one of Staten Island's most storied hillside neighborhoods.
