127 Madsen Avenue

Richmond Valley sits at the southwest tip of Staten Island where the Outerbridge meets Arthur Kill, a pocket of South Shore real estate that has become one of the most stable family neighborhoods in the borough. Madsen Avenue minutes off Richmond Valley Road and directly behind Page Avenue- close enough to the Outerbridge for a quick run to New Jersey or Page Avenue for plenty of restaurants and shopping. The block is wide, the lots are deep, and the houses are taken care of. 127 Madsen is a 2-family detached high ranch built in 1985 on a 40 by 125 lot- and recently fully renovated. The second-floor main residence has four bedrooms (!) and two full bathrooms with a granite kitchen, a separate dining room, hardwood floors throughout, a master with its own bath, and a covered balcony off the back that opens to a staircase down to the yard. The ground floor has a 2-bedroom rental apartment. On top of that, you have a one car garage and very oversized driveway with room for another 8 cars! The yard is where this property earns its premium. Pool, outdoor kitchen, fenced perimeter, and patio space designed for actual use. The owner has put real money into the outdoor build-out, and it shows. If you're looking for a resort style backyard, this is it. Charleston, Tottenville, and Pleasant Plains are minutes away by car. Staten Island University Hospital South Campus is under two miles. The Outerbridge Crossing puts central New Jersey within minutes. Bloomingdale Park and Clay Pit Ponds State Park are both close. Brooklyn and Manhattan are a short ride on the highway. Few neighborhoods on the South Shore give you this much yard, this much house, this much flexibility, and this much access. The right buyer will know exactly what they're looking at.
