A once-in-a-generation offering on prestigious Todt Hill, 177 Benedict Road is an extraordinary private estate set on approximately 1.6 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds. Designed on a scale rarely seen in New York City, this remarkable 8-bedroom, 17-bath residence combines exceptional privacy, grand entertaining spaces, resort-caliber amenities, and commanding views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, New York Harbor, and beyond—all within approximately 25 minutes of Downtown Manhattan. Every level tells a different story. The spectacular rooftop level is an entertainment destination of its own, featuring a grand ballroom, private café, salon, movie theater, and indoor heated swimming pool all elevated above breathtaking panoramic views. The lower level was designed for entertaining on an entirely different scale, anchored by a multimillion-dollar, commercial-caliber chef's kitchen built to accommodate private chefs, catered events, and large gatherings. A dedicated wine and cigar room provides an intimate retreat for entertaining and relaxation. Outside, the approximately 1.6-acre property unfolds like a private resort. Botanical gardens, manicured landscaping, striking water features, and thoughtfully designed pathways surround the residence. A spectacular gathering area overlooking the harbor features a full outdoor kitchen and dedicated outdoor restrooms, creating a self-contained setting for large-scale outdoor entertaining. An additional outdoor swimming pool completes the resort experience. A commercial-grade 12-person elevator provides access throughout the residence, while multiple garages offer substantial space for a serious automobile collection. With eight bedrooms, seventeen bathrooms, indoor and outdoor pools, extraordinary entertainment spaces, extensive grounds, and infrastructure created for entertaining at the highest level, 177 Benedict Road is far more than a residence. It is a true generational estate an offering of scale, elevation, privacy, and amenities that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate anywhere on Staten Island.

Todt Hill, located between Grymes Hill and Richmondtown, is a hillside and residential New York neighborhood with winding wooded roads and panoramic harbor views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Todt Hill Road near the entrance to Staten Island Greenbelt, where trailheads, stone walls, and quiet overlooks set the tone. Historic Richmond Town and the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art serve as cultural anchors nearby. Large, setback homes and mid-century estates sit on steep lots, giving streets a private, park-like feel. Greenbelt paths and LaTourette Park shape daily routines with long walks and bike loops. The terrain and tree cover keep the atmosphere calm and distinctly upland for the city.

R1 districts are leafy, low-density neighborhoods of large, single-family detached homes on spacious lots. Resembling many suburbs, these districts are mapped in a few areas of the city, such as Todt Hill (R1-1) in Staten Island, Jamaica Estates (R1-2) in Queens, and Fieldston (R1-2) in the Bronx. R1-2A is mapped in Forest Hills in Queens.; There are three R1 districts. Although new homes in R1-1 districts must be on larger and wider lots than homes in R1-2 and R1-2A districts, generous yard requirements and high open space ratio (OSR) or lot coverage regulations preserve the open space that characterizes all R1 districts. The floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.5 and the sizeable required lot area tend to produce big, roomy houses. The maximum height of buildings in R1-1 and R1-2 districts is not fixed but is governed by a sky exposure plane;; contextual regulations in R1-2A districts produce buildings that maintain neighborhood scale and character with a maximum perimeter wall of 25 feet, a maximum building height of 35 feet and a front yard as deep as a neighboring yard. Auto ownership rates are high and, as in other lower-density districts which are often distant from mass transit, one off-street parking space is required for each dwelling unit.
