Description

Welcome to 78 Forest Street - Where Your Staten Island Story Begins

Imagine waking up to sunlight streaming through your windows on a quiet, tree-lined street where neighbors still wave hello. This is 78 Forest Street - a beautifully maintained, move-in ready, semi-attached home that doesn't just offer square footage, it offers possibility.

Nestled in the heart of Bulls Head, one of Staten Island's most coveted neighborhoods, this gem sits on a spacious 2,423 sq ft lot with approximately 1,528 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. Delivered unfurnished and sold as is, this blank canvas is ready for you to make it completely your own - whether you're raising a family, working from home, or simply craving more room to breathe.

Step Inside Your New Beginning: Picture family dinners in your formal dining room, lazy Sunday mornings in your sunlit eat-in kitchen, and evenings unwinding in a living room bathed in natural light. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms provide private retreats for everyone, while 2.5 baths ensure the morning rush is a little less rushed.

But Wait- There's More Space to Dream: A full finished basement opens up endless possibilities: home gym, playroom, art studio, or that workshop you've been dreaming about. And outside? Your private backyard becomes summer BBQ headquarters, a garden oasis, or simply your escape from the world.

The Driveway and Garage? Room for 2 cars- because parking shouldn't be a daily battle.

Location That Actually Makes Life Easier: You're minutes from Staten Island Mall, incredible restaurants, sprawling parks, and everything you need for daily life. Express buses whisk you to Manhattan, while major highways keep the entire region within reach. It's the best of both worlds: peaceful suburban sanctuary meets big-city accessibility.

This isn't just another listing. This is your chance to own a versatile, turn-key home in a neighborhood known for strong community ties, excellent schools, and homes that hold their value. Properties like this don't stay available long in Bulls Head.

Your next chapter is waiting at 78 Forest Street.

Local buses serve the neighborhood, with SIM express buses providing direct service to Manhattan. Willowbrook Park, part of the Staten Island Greenbelt, borders the neighborhood to the east, and the 2,200-acre Freshkills Park nature preserve lies to the southwest.
