Rarely does a property offer a lifestyle that evolves perfectly with the seasons. As one of only 31 homes with direct waterfront access to Brady's Pond, this 3,850 sq. ft. Colonial is a year-round sanctuary. Summer brings refreshing swims and morning paddleboarding from your private dock on NYC's only swimmable freshwater lake. In the fall, the surrounding canopy erupts in spectacular foliage, reflecting off the water's glass-like surface. Winter transforms the pond into a private ice-skating rink, while spring welcomes a vibrant resurgence of local wildlife. The interior is equally impressive, featuring a primary suite with 10-foot ceilings and expansive windows that frame the shifting landscape. The walk-out lower level, complete with an outdoor kitchen and dual patios, is designed for hosting against the backdrop of Staten Island's most exclusive natural treasure. Minutes from the bridge but a world away, this is the ultimate four-season escape for the discerning buyer."
