Prodigal House For Sale Pick - $995,000 (Snug Harbor)

A Prodigal Borough reader sent us the MLS number for this handsome house. This house has LAND! The lot size is 16,800 square feet. That is quite a bit of land, even for Staten Island. The house is a grand 7,100 square feet. The listing boasts 11 rooms, commerical kitchen, library, period detailing, wraparound porch, 3 car garage, loft, inground pool, and more. All for under 1 million dollars! The listing calls the house a "1900's Queen Anne Victorian" but it looks more like colonial meets Queen Anne to me. With all of that land I'm tempted to go and see it myself. For those of you who don't know Staten Island well, Snug Harbor is a beautiful museum complex, across from the water, a short bus or car ride from the ferry. (Take S40 bus on Richmond Terrace outside SI Yankee Ballpark.) Snug Harbor is 2 miles from the ferry terminal. If you go to Snug Harbor check out the Chinese Scholar's Garden. The koi and the extensive ponds are gorgeous and the fish actually follow you as you walk around. (I think they want to get fed. Believe it or not, our own pond fish eat out of our hands). Make sure you stop in and have brunch at Cafe Botanica. It is Prodigal Borough's favorite place for breakfast in all of Staten Island. To visit the Snug Harbor website click HERE.
