What's around 308 St John Avenue

About this property

Step into a rare piece of Staten Island history with the iconic Peter Houseman House, a designated New York City Landmark dating back to circa 1730. This extraordinary residence is one of the few surviving pre-Revolutionary Dutch colonial farmhouses in New York City, thoughtfully expanded in the 18th century and preserved to reflect its rich architectural heritage. Set on an expansive 10,500 sq ft lot in the heart of Westerleigh, this 1.5-story home blends historic charm with timeless character. Original features such as the stone structure, classic rooflines, and period details offer a glimpse into early American craftsmanship, while later additions showcase the home's evolution over centuries. Beyond its architecture, the property carries a remarkable provenance—once part of the Dongan estate and later owned by prominent Staten Island families, it stands today as a lasting testament to the borough's colonial past. Located in a highly desirable, established neighborhood with convenient access to shopping, dining, and transportation, this home offers a unique opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking more than just a residence—but a legacy. A truly special offering for those who appreciate history, character, and the rarity of owning a landmarked home.

Buyer's review

Expert knowledge | Consummate Professional | Highly Recommend

We wholeheartedly recommend George as your buyer's agent. We found him while searching YouTube to learn the Staten Island real estate market. We were new to Staten Island and had very little knowledge of the area, let alone the real estate market. In the 10-year-old video, he was actually coaching other realtors through a dip in the market. A realtor's realtor who had such longevity in the profession was someone we knew we wanted representing us. He took the time to learn our criteria and guided us to matching neighborhoods. He is always available by phone or text, and, in the rare occasions he doesn't know the answer, he will find out for you in less than 24 hours. We never had any problems getting into homes, some even the same day. His reputation on Staten Island amongst real estate agents precedes him in the best way possible. Whenever we mentioned his name to the seller's agent--they all knew him (a fair number he even taught the real estate business)--the interaction immediately changed to one where they knew we were serious buyers. His negotiation experience, market knowledge, and knowing our bottom line made negotiations quick and allowed us to move on to other properties until we found a suitable home. His connections are invaluable, and his resolve to work for you and become your "realtor for life" as he likes to say is unmatched in our experience. True to his word, he continued to answer our texts and calls even after we closed, giving us advice, connecting us with realtors to assist us with our real estate needs halfway across the country. His business and trade connections came in extremely handy after we closed as well. His network is truly national, and the same reputation he has in Staten Island for honest and efficient real estate transactions continues outside of Staten Island. Having George as an agent, and for us now as a friend, will give you peace of mind and, as importantly, a tireless advocate just a call or text away.
