369 Grimsby St

Some homes just make sense the moment you pull up. 369 Grimsby sits on a dead-end block in Midland Beach, and that dead end is the whole story. The street terminates right at Miller Field, 187 acres of open parkland where people enjoy taking their dogs out for strolls, kids play ball, and the city noise disappears. No through traffic. One of the quietest streets in the neighborhood. The home is a detached one-story bungalow with hardwood floors, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The owner has put real money into this place over the last few years. New kitchen with granite countertops, granite backsplash, and new flooring. Fully retiled bathroom with tiled shower. New windows throughout, new furnace, new hot water heater, new electrical panel, and a new roof. The big stuff is done. Front and backyard are fully fenced, with new limestone front steps and powder coated railings finishing off the curb appeal nicely. Full basement with a separate entrance adds great flexibility for storage, a home office. Taxes run about 2,838 a year, which for a detached single-family in Staten Island is a number worth paying attention to. Flood Zone X, no flood insurance required. Midland Beach boardwalk is a short distance. New Dorp, South Beach, the express bus, and the Verrazzano are all minutes away. The kind of block where people put down roots and stay, and this one doesn't come up often.
