Accommodations: Vacation House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-6)
Wonderful Waterfront Unobstructed View of the Hudson Harbor along with the skyline of Manhattan and Brooklyn from a conveniently located property. This comfortable 2 bedroom home has a great vantage point as it is a short 20 minutes FREE transportation to New York City via the Staten Island ferry and yet is in a SAFE and quiet location. The Esplanade in front of the Victorian home follows the waterfront and has a running trail, benches and a boardwalk above the tides. Or go see the Staten Island Yankees (a minor league) play at the beautiful new stadium, only a block away from the house.
Everything is close in Historic St. George, museums, restaurants and small grocery stores that have good selections of staples, beer and organic foods. If the desire is to explore the neighborhood and view all the historic homes and public buildings or ride over to New York City see the sights, all is quite easy even with small children. Near the NYC dock is the ticket booth to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island or the tour busses. If you want to walk around after landing you will be in the old Historic district of Manhattan and just a few short blocks from the Financial District of Wall Street.
The house has been renovated with a new and fully equipped kitchen, for summer there is a new 18,000 BTU air conditioner and a working wood burning fireplace for winter, a master bedroom with lovely romantic decor and wood floors, high ceilings with ceiling fans throughout and a full bathroom with a bathtub. There is a shared foyer with the owner but the unit has it's own locking front door and is totally private. No car is necessary and there is public transportation from the two airports in New York and from Newark in NJ. If a parking space is needed the street has no restrictions and is right in front of the home entrance. Wifi is included along with cable TV on a 30" screen.
