Located in one of Staten Island's most desirable neighborhoods, this Pleasant Plains property offers exciting possibilities. Restore the charming Colonial to its original splendor or take advantage of the expansive 77x158 lot-an excellent opportunity for builders, investors, or buyers with a vision. The property is being sold strictly AS IS.
Pleasant Plains, located between the West Shore Expressway and the Arthur Kill shoreline, is a low-rise and residential Staten Island neighborhood with a marsh-edge landscape and wide, quiet blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Pleasant Plains station area at Pleasant Plains Avenue and Seguine Avenue, where small storefronts, takeout counters, and commuter foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Historic Richmond Town anchors nearby with living-history buildings and seasonal programming that shape local culture. The Conference House Park waterfront adds salt-air paths and broad lawns beside the harbor. Housing leans toward detached homes with driveways and tidy yards, giving the streets a suburban cadence within the city. Wetlands and creeks frame the edges, keeping the geography present in everyday views.

R3X contextual districts, mapped extensively in lower-density neighborhoods, such as Forest Hills in Queens and Prince's Bay and Westerleigh in Staten Island, permit only one- and two-family detached homes on lots that must be at least 35 feet wide. The 0.5 floor area ratio (FAR) in R3X districts may be increased by an attic allowance of up to 20 percent for the inclusion of space beneath a pitched roof. The perimeter wall may rise to 21 feet before sloping or being set back to a maximum building height of 35 feet. The amount of required open space on a lot is governed by yard requirements. Two side yards that total at least 10 feet are required and there must be a minimum distance of eight feet between houses on adjacent lots. The front yard of a new home must be at least 10 feet deep and, to promote a unified streetscape, it must be at least as deep as an adjacent front yard but need not exceed a depth of 20 feet. An in-house garage is permitted within the building provided the driveway is at least 18 feet deep. One off-street parking space is required for each dwelling unit.
