Welcome to one of New York City's most extraordinary landmarked historic homes. Built in 1855, this grand Italianate villa is a remarkable architectural time capsule and former home of Gustav Mayer, whose original vanilla wafer recipe helped inspire what became Nabisco. The first floor has been restored to museum-quality standards and features a double parlor, three bedrooms, two kitchens, two full baths, and exceptional original craftsmanship throughout. Above, nine additional rooms and over 2,800 square feet of restoration-ready space with roughed-in plumbing and electric provide a rare opportunity to continue the home's legacy. Situated on over half an acre and crowned by its iconic cupola with sweeping views of Raritan Bay and the Verrazzano Bridge, the home has also been featured in Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and W Magazine, and much more. For the right visionary, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Staten Island's most remarkable residences and become part of its continuing history.
