The house isn’t all that remarkable, but it’s large, famous, and presumably in good shape. But the thing is, the price isn’t all that much, for any house in the Manhattan suburbs with that much room in it.
I know, $2.89 million is a lot of money. But if you start looking around NYC for a large house, you will find that it shrinks to just about nothing.
Apparently the owner remodeled the inside to resemble the interior sets used in the film. He knew what the selling point would be that’s for sure.
Staten Island isn't Manhattan. Location, location, location, as they say.
I wonder if they've left anything inside to match the way it was during the filming of the Godfather movies. I ask because I was in Sicily this spring on a tour, and of course, the bus had to stop at the bar where Michael meets Apollonia's father. It was closed for renovations, but the tour guide said that it had prospered greatly as a tourist attraction after the movie. I wonder if any of that happened on Staten Island... but I doubt it.
