With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand. A mighty woman with a torch. - Emily Lazarus That is exactly what you see from almost every room of this historic and iconic Staten Island home: Lady Liberty. In 1886, just a few dozen homes were built on the St. George hillside to capture the majestic beauty of the Statue of Liberty which was newly enshrined in New York harbor. 131 St. Marks Place is one of those originals. Today with the iconic New York skyline ever changing, dramatic and awesome, this historic house welcomes its new owners. Set in a park-like setting, this dark cedar Victorian has been well kept, with every major detail still preserved. Brick fireplaces accent the formal living room and dining room - perfect for intimate gatherings or big parties. The chefs kitchen and its granite counters and custom cabinets is a dream for entertainers or those that dont. The wet bar and breakfast room lead to a large deck with sweeping views of NY Harbor and the yard below. 5 generous bedrooms, including a master suite with views and hardwood floors grace the second and third floors. The lower level has a convenient summer kitchen, den, bedroom with 3/4 bath. The backyard is an absolute dream with lush gardens, cozy nooks, and BBQ area with wood burning pizza oven with copper accents. Outdoor gazebo dining area made with revolutionary war-era timber reclaimed from Staten Islands oldest buildings. In-ground pool is covered. Boasts 8 car parking and 2 car garage.
