O
n Staten Island’s upscale Tod Hill, a 1975 creation by architect Charlie Azzue stands out like a mural‑covered sculpture amid conventional homes. The concrete façade, adorned with Egyptian‑inspired murals that echo a Hobbit‑house whimsy, is now on the market for $2.2 million. Listing agent Sari Kingsley describes the house as “owning a piece of art” and highlights Azzue’s modernist vision, shaped by his fascination with ballet and dynamic movement. Inside, four bedrooms and three baths open onto a light‑filled layout, with a surprising indoor pool—complete with skylight and fireplace—directly off the kitchen. The walls feature bold ankh symbols and other energetic motifs, underscoring themes of life and power. Set on a nearly 15,000‑sq‑ft lot with a circular drive and detached two‑car garage, the property’s singular design makes it a local landmark, drawing crowds of curious neighbors. The sellers, who purchased the home in 2017 for just under $1 million, are ready to move on. Kingsley notes the house needs updates but believes it will attract a buyer who sees its artistic potential and unique character.
