Make An Offer They Can’t Refuse: “Godfather” Manse Hits Market

Goombas and molls take note: the Staten Island mansion where “The Godfather” was filmed is back on the market.

You could own a piece of silver screen history, for the price of just $2.89 million. The posh Tudor-style home located at 110 Longfellow Avenue in the desirable Todt Hill neighborhood was used for exterior shots in the iconic film, including Connie (Talia Shire)’s wedding and where Don Corleone (Marlon Brando) died.

It’s all in the family with this gorgeous Staten Island home famous for its starring role in a certain, kind-famous little movie about mafiosi.

The vast five-bedroom, eight-bath home consist of over 6,200 square feet of living space and sits on over half an acre of land. The current owners, clearly “Godfather” aficionados, have remodeled parts of the house to appear as they did in the film – including Don Corleone’s office. The home is framed by “majestic” trees and a stone wall, and features a pool in the back. There are two fireplaces, a four-car garage, a gym, playroom, and game room, and intercom/security/sound systems.

The opulent nest was built in 1930 for Joseph Palma, who eventually became Staten Island’s borough president. Palma had eleven kids, explaining in part why the home had to be so big! The next owner kept the home in his family for six decades. Actor Gianni Russo, who played Carlo Rizzi in the film, helped producers scout the home, which was deemed to be perfect as Casa Corleone.

Of course, the “Godfather house” is only one of New York’s Hollywood-famous abodes. One notorious other is 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, the iconic home that was the site of the Amityville Horror murders – and the inspiration for the movie series based on them. The Amityville home is still a popular attraction for sightseers and the nosy, which might explain why it seems to end up for sale every few years.
