在一扇拱形的鐵藝大門背後，這棟地中海風格的石膏別墅坐落在成熟樹木遮蔽的角落地皮上——這種吸引人的外觀足以讓布魯克林的買家在瀏覽時停下腳步，距離橋只有十分鐘的路程，卻沒有附帶布魯克林的高價標籤。

室內，中央大廳的入口設計優雅，原始的木地板和天花板裝飾延續至每個房間，整體感覺真實寬敞，而不是刻意為之。正式的餐廳配置了定制的內嵌式收納。客廳是該住宅的亮點：一個燃氣壁爐，窗戶框住了池塘的美景，足夠的空間容納一架大鋼琴和完整的座位區，卻從不感到擁擠——此外還有相鄰的陽光房，提供相同景觀的更靜謐版本。

廚房則是為了實際使用而設計的——布局寬敞的用餐區配有Wolf爐灶、儲藏室，以及方便的內部洗衣房。廚房還有一間洗手間和一個可供燒烤的露台，完美地圓滿了第一層的設計。

樓上有四間臥室，其中一間主套房擁有自己的私人屋頂露台——林蔭水景和近市區卻難得的寧靜。兩間額外的臥室共用一個Jack-and-Jill浴室，另外一間獨立的第四間臥室提供了靈活的使用空間，適合招待客人、作為家庭辦公室或居住使用。

完整的地下室增添了真正的多樣性：一個自給自足的套房、以及一個獨立的工作空間和儲物區，並可從樓上單獨進出——非常適合大家庭、出租收入或只是單純需要更多的空間。

室外，後院擁有角落地皮般的寬敞——足夠增加一個游泳池，並且仍有多餘的空間，無論你的“更多空間”的理想是什麼。

然後還有湖泊。這所房子擁有對卡梅倫湖的使用權——這是紐約市五個行政區內唯一一個私有的、由泉水供應的可游泳湖泊，自上世紀30年代以來由卡梅倫俱樂部經營。會員可享受私人白沙灘和游泳碼頭，距離你自己的前門僅需短短步行距離。

對於被高價標籤排除在外的布魯克林買家，以及那些等待理想房源的斯塔滕島買家——這就是那棟房子。

Behind an arched wrought-iron door, this Mediterranean-style stucco villa sits on a corner lot shaded by mature trees — the kind of curb appeal that stops Brooklyn buyers mid-scroll, ten minutes from the bridge and without the Brooklyn price tag attached.

Inside, a center hall entry sets an elegant tone, with original wood floors and crown moldings carrying through rooms that feel genuinely spacious rather than staged to look that way. The formal dining room is finished with custom built-ins. The living room is the showstopper: a gas fireplace, windows framing pond views, and enough room for a grand piano and a full seating area without ever feeling crowded — plus an adjoining sunroom for the quieter version of the same view.

The kitchen is built to actually live in — a tremendous eat-in layout with a Wolf range, a pantry, and laundry tucked conveniently inside. A powder room and a deck off the kitchen for grilling round out the first floor.

Upstairs, four bedrooms include a primary suite with its own private roof patio — tree-lined water views, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find this close to the city. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, with a separate fourth bedroom offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or family.

The full basement adds real versatility: a self-contained in-law suite, plus a separate workspace and storage area with its own access from upstairs — ideal for extended family, rental income, or simply more room to spread out.

Outside, the backyard is corner-lot big — enough to add a pool and still have room to spare, whatever your version of "more space" looks like.

And then there's the lake. This home carries rights to Cameron Lake — the only privately owned, spring-fed swimmable lake in New York City's five boroughs, run by the Cameron Club since the 1930s. Members enjoy a private white sand beach and swimming dock, all a short walk from your own front door.

For Brooklyn buyers priced out of what they actually want, and Staten Island buyers who've been waiting for the right one to come along — this is that house.
