This is not a home trying to be something it is not. It offers classic charm, a manageable footprint and the kind of property features that are becoming increasingly difficult to find at this price point: a private driveway with off street parking for three or more cars, a detached garage, full basement, full staircase to a spacious attic, and manicured front and rear yards on an approximately 4,800 square foot lot. For buyers comparing condos, semi attached homes or Brooklyn alternatives, 144 Hereford Street offers something very different: a true detached home with your own property, yard, garage, basement and abundant off street parking, without giving up the convenience of a sought after area. The home can be comfortably enjoyed as it stands while allowing its next owner to make cosmetic updates at their own pace. For those thinking longer term, the property also offers possibilities to personalize, reimagine or thoughtfully expand (subject to all required approvals.) Inside, the main level provides comfortable living space with two bedrooms and one full bath. The walk up attic offers excellent storage and additional possibilities, while the full basement provides valuable extra space for storage, hobbies and everyday living needs. Located on an attractive, well established residential block in the desirable Great Kills section of Staten Island's South Shore, the home is convenient to the Staten Island Railway, express and local buses, shopping, schools and neighborhood amenities. Pride of ownership is evident throughout this lovingly maintained One Family Detached Cape, cherished by the same owner for more than 50 years. If you have been searching for a solid, well cared for detached home and wondering where the value is hiding... Sometimes the right home is simply waiting for the right buyer to see what is already there. Come experience 144 Hereford Street in person and see why this well kept home deserves a serious look! Please note: Initial photos show the home in its current condition. Based on observations made during the inspection, it is believed that sheetrock/drywall is behind the existing paneling rather than plaster, and that hardwood flooring is beneath the carpeting. Buyers should independently verify these conditions to their satisfaction. Some photos have been digitally enhanced to illustrate possible cosmetic updates with minimal changes, including painting existing cabinets and walls, adding appliances, flooring, furnishings and décor. The concepts retain the existing floor plan and do not depict structural construction. This includes conceptual images of the attic and basement. Marks visible in the attic are believed to be adhesive/glue residue rather than water staining. Property is being sold through a trust and, although it is being well maintained, it is being offered As Is.
