About 191 Nevada Avenue
Welcome to High Rock Lodge. A truly one-of-a-kind, resort style, architectural masterpiece and a private country retreat located in the heart of Staten Island's Greenbelt. The use of unique timber frame construction, and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) is a sophisticated choice. It provides a rustic aesthetic while being far more energy efficient and airtight in comparison to traditional construction. It is truly built to last for generations. The property's location prioritizes privacy, seclusion, and a connection with nature with nothing but park land as its neighbor while ensuring a short and convenient commute to city amenities like work, top schools, entertainment, transportation, and shopping. Exit the back gate and access miles of trails for hiking, biking, fishing and exploring everything the Greenbelt has to offer. Enter inside this home that spans over 5,500 sq ft of open living space on a sprawling 20,382 sq ft lot surrounded by 92 acres of Greenbelt and be transported by the rustic elegance of exposed timbers, soaring cathedral ceilings and rich hardwood floors, where radiant heat provides luxurious, silent warmth throughout. Enter the grand foyer that leads to the expansive Great room equipped with a gas-start wood-burning fireplace that extends to the outside patio, offering the perfect setting for year-round indoor-outdoor living. The Great room is connected to the dining room by a wine room style bar that serves as a transitional element, connecting the two rooms while also establishing a distinct area for socializing and cocktails. The dining room and living room are anchored by a stunning two-sided gas fireplace that creates a cozy atmosphere perfect for intimate gatherings or grand entertaining. The chef-inspired kitchen is equipped with a double oven, a warming drawer, an 8-burner stovetop with a professional hood, a double-tier island providing ample prep space and a farmhouse sink, all supported by two dishwashers for effortless cleanup. The first floor also features a half bathroom, a thoughtfully designed playroom that features a Dutch door, and a guest bedroom with a private entrance and full bathroom. The second floor boasts 4 spacious bedrooms along with 3 baths. The master suite is a true spa-like sanctuary that promotes tranquility and privacy by using the forest itself as a primary design element. It features a luxurious master bath equipped with a soaking tub, dual body shower, sauna and a private terrace with sweeping views of nature as well as an enormous walk-in closet. The basement is perfect for both entertaining and relaxation and adds significant living space. It includes a spacious family room, a spare bedroom, a dedicated gym area, and a functional mudroom as well as a private wine cellar, perfect for storing and showcasing your prized collection. A 3/4 bath serves the basement. The oversized two-car garage with ample storage rounds out the lower level. Unique amenities include a Sonos surround sound speaker system integrated throughout the home, central vacuum, and a dumbwaiter connecting the kitchen pantry directly to the finished basement for easy transport of groceries and goods.
