257 Locust Avenue

Welcome to this stately and fully detached luxury residence in New Dorp. Close to Hylan Boulevard and showcases soaring ceilings and approximately 3,740 square feet of refined interiors arranged across five bedrooms and four bathrooms on a 60×100 lot with a broad 48×40 footprint. From the gracious entry, the home opens to grand-scale living and dining volumes that invite effortless entertaining and everyday ease. The main level transitions seamlessly to a deep, landscaped backyard anchored by an in-ground swimming pool, creating a private, resort-style setting for alfresco meals, weekend gatherings, and true indoor-outdoor living. A finished lower level with a separate exterior entrance extends the lifestyle, offering versatile space for a media lounge, gym, home office, or guest accommodations. The setting blends serenity with recreation: you are moments from Miller Field within the Gateway National Recreation Area—with open fields, play areas, and seasonal amenities—and near the Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk & Beach at Midland Beach, a beloved waterfront promenade with paths for strolling, cycling, and beachgoing. National Park Service+2NYC Parks+2 Daily connectivity is equally polished: along Hylan Boulevard, the S79-SBS offers direct service to Bay Ridge/86 Street in Brooklyn; SIM express routes on Hylan, including SIM1/SIM1C, SIM7, and SIM10, provide service to Lower and Midtown Manhattan; and the Staten Island Railway at New Dorp station adds a convenient rail option for cross-island links and ferry connections.
