At 177 Benedict Road, Staten Island, NY 10304, the party spaces are upstairs. A ballroom, café, salon and movie theater share the top floor with a heated indoor pool under sloping glass. From Todt Hill, the property looks toward the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and New York Harbor. The estate is asking $13,995,000.

A Ballroom and a Swim on the Same Floor

The listing calls the rooftop level “an entertainment destination of its own.” In the photographs, the spaces have distinct moods.
