Grasmere Townhome for Sale

Grasmere, a neighborhood in Staten Island, is known for its private freshwater swimming pond and large single-family homes. Located in the northeastern section of the island, it offers a suburban feel with convenient access to Brooklyn and Manhattan via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and the free ferry. The area features a diverse range of home styles, including lakefront cottages, custom colonials, raised ranches, Tudor-style cottages, and Mediterranean villas. Brady’s Pond, a 15-acre lake, is a unique feature exclusive to residents, while the adjacent Brady’s Pond Park is open to the public. Recreational options include Old Town Playground and Fort Wadsworth Gateway National Recreation Area, with South Beach less than a mile away for sunbathing, jogging, and summer concerts. The neighborhood is bordered by Hylan Boulevard, which hosts a variety of Italian-inspired bakeries, restaurants, and markets, such as Nino’s Restaurant and Royal Crown Bakery. Grasmere’s elementary students attend the highly rated P.S. 39 The Francis J. Murphy Jr. and P.S. 48 William C. Wilcox. The area is safer than the national average, with cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets minimizing traffic.
