A legendary piece of New York real estate history is up for grabs.
The opulent Staten Island mansion once owned by notorious Gambino crime family boss Paul Castellano has officially hit the market—listed at a staggering $18 million. Nestled behind gates on an expansive piece of land in the Todt Hill neighborhood, the property offers a rare opportunity to own not just a luxury estate, but a home steeped in New York folklore.
A Mansion With a Notorious Past
The estate was originally built by Paul Castellano in the 1980s and became infamous as the private residence of one of the most powerful Mafia leaders of his time. Often referred to as the “White House” due to its columned façade and stately appearance, the mansion was designed to reflect Castellano’s taste for power, privacy, and prestige.
Following Castellano’s assassination in 1985 outside Manhattan’s Sparks Steak House—an event that shook the city and marked a turning point in Mafia history—the property has changed hands but maintained its mystique.
Luxury Meets Legacy
While the home’s history might intrigue crime buffs, its features appeal to lovers of luxury. Sitting on over 3 acres of prime real estate, the mansion offers 10,000+ square feet of living space, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, sprawling gardens, a grand staircase, chef's kitchen, and intricate architectural detailing.
The estate is designed for both private living and grand-scale entertaining. Expansive formal spaces, secluded lounging areas, and panoramic views make it a one-of-a-kind retreat just minutes from Manhattan.
Privacy and Prestige in Staten Island’s Most Exclusive Enclave
Todt Hill is known as Staten Island’s most prestigious address—and this mansion is its crown jewel. The gated property ensures complete privacy, with a long driveway leading up to the stately front entrance. For those seeking a blend of legacy, luxury, and location, this estate stands alone.
