Nestled along the shores of New York City\u2019s only privately owned swimmable pond is a Staten Island one-of-a-kind home for sale.<\/a><\/p>\n

The home, located at 121 Windermere Rd. in Grasmere, was listed for sale in early March for almost $2 million. The price was recently cut to $1,695,000.<\/p>\n

The charming 3,850 square-foot side-hall colonial home is located on the shores of Brady\u2019s Pond, which offers a rare waterfront lifestyle, according to the listing<\/a>. The single-family home, built in 1945, features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and expansive windows that showcase the beautiful water views. It has one parking space available on the property.<\/p>\n

Jillian Abbadessa, who is representing the property through Keller Williams Staten Island, noted the timeless craftsmanship and custom woodwork throughout the home. Much of the hardwood floors are original, with original kitchen cabinets that have been painted, along with updated appliances.<\/p>\n

A spiral staircase was added on the street level to the first floor to provide in-home access to the deck and private dock. The homeowner\u2019s favorite part of the house is burning a fire in the fireplace of the home\u2019s living room, explained Abbadessa.<\/p>\n

\u201c121 Windermere Road isn\u2019t just a beautiful home \u2014 it\u2019s an experience that\u2019s nearly impossible to replicate in New York City,\u201d Lauren Gail Quirindongo, who is representing the property with partner Abbadessa, previously told the Advance\/SILive.com. \u201cSitting directly on Brady\u2019s Pond, the city\u2019s only swimmable freshwater pond, this property offers a lifestyle of tranquility, recreation, and privacy that feels more like an exclusive lakeside retreat than a home in New York \u2026 It\u2019s rare to find a home where nature, luxury, and everyday living come together so effortlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the listing, the full finished walk-out basement opens to two patios, including an outdoor kitchen. It leads to a brand-new private dock. The primary suite boasts 10-foot ceilings, a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub and a spacious walk-in closet.<\/p>\n

Brady\u2019s Pond is privately owned and maintained by the Cameron Club Association. Residents have the opportunity to apply for membership, which includes exclusive access to the private pond for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and other recreational activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cComplete with Cameron Club membership eligibility, this one-of-a-kind waterfront property offers a lifestyle rarely found anywhere in New York City,\u201d stated the listing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nestled along the shores of New York City\u2019s only privately owned swimmable pond is a Staten Island one-of-a-kind…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-310262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
