19 Shotwell Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10312

This is a south shore block that locals try to hold onto. Tucked between Woodrow Road and Waring Avenue, this part of Arden Heights doesn't get the buzz of other South Shore pockets, and the people who live here like it that way. The streets are calm, the neighbors stick around, and Olde Stone Commons and Carlton Park are right there when you want to be outside.

The home itself is a fully updated semi-attached two-family with a full basement and a huge yard. The owners didn't cut corners. Both units are move-in ready, and you can tell the difference the moment you walk through. The 25 by 143 lot is the part most people don't expect.

That kind of yard depth is hard to find on a semi-attached in this area, and it gives the back of the house room to breathe in a way most listings around here can't offer. The numbers help too. Property taxes run 6,252, which is genuinely low for a two-family in 10312 and meaningfully changes the math if you're buying with rental income in mind.

You have a beautiful 1 bedroom rental- yet still have a basement! The home sits in Flood Zone X- no flood insurance . You're a couple of minutes from Woodrow shopping, a quick hop to the West Shore Expressway, and the Korean War Veterans Parkway puts you at the bridge in about twenty. Eltingville Transit Center is right there for the express bus into the city. If you've been waiting for a two-family that's actually been taken care of and has real yard space, this is the one to come see.
