A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Cinematic History! This one-of-a-kind Graniteville home was featured as a filming location in the 2009 feature film Staten Island (also known as Little New York), serving as the on-screen residence of Ethan Hawke's character. Whether you're a film enthusiast or simply appreciate owning a home with a unique story, this property offers a truly memorable distinction. Beyond its Hollywood connection, this beautifully maintained single-family home offers approximately 1,440 square feet of comfortable living space with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 updated bathrooms. The spacious living room opens to a charming enclosed three-season porch with removable coverings, creating the perfect place to relax throughout much of the year. The formal living and dining areas are ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen was completely renovated in 2025 and features all-new appliances. Both bathrooms were tastefully remodeled in 2025. A private recreational sitting area beneath the porch, accessible from the basement, provides a peaceful outdoor retreat for gatherings or quiet enjoyment. Additional features include a full basement with abundant storage and endless possibilities, a private driveway, and an attached garage. Major exterior improvements include a new roof (2024), updated siding (2024), and new fencing (2024), offering added value and peace of mind. Ideally situated on a quiet residential street in Graniteville, this move-in-ready home is conveniently located near schools, shopping, parks, public transportation, and major highways. A rare chance to own not only a beautifully updated home but also a recognizable piece of Staten Island film history.

Listing by Antoinette Burke• Keller Williams Realty Empire
Graniteville, located between the West Shore Expressway and the Freshkills shoreline, is a low-rise and industrial Staten Island neighborhood with working waterfront edges and wide, truck-friendly streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Victory Boulevard and Forest Avenue corridor, where auto shops, small delis, and no-frills storefronts set a practical, get-things-done tone. The Staten Island Industrial Park anchors the area’s employment landscape, while nearby Graniteville Quarry Park signals the borough’s quarrying past. Housing reads as modest detached homes and small multifamily buildings, often set back behind driveways and yards. Green space and big-sky views open up toward the Freshkills Park trails and wetlands. Transit and errands orbit local bus routes and the Staten Island Mall retail district just to the south.
