Looking for a move to a home which demands – as its most famous (albeit fictional) owner might have mumbled – the right amount of respect?

The perfect option may have arisen in the form of the New York mansion known to fans of The Godfather as the home of the Corleone clan in the 1972 film, which has gone up for sale at just under $3m (£1.8m).

Described by the estate agents involved as an “enchanting English tudor” on sprawling grounds of 24,000 sq ft, the property is located at 110 Longfellow Ave, Staten Island.

While its interior did not feature in the film, it provided the backdrop to a number of scenes, most notably as the mansion where the Corleones celebrated the wedding of daughter Connie, who was played by Talia Shire.

Built in 1930, the house was in reality the home of the Norton family, who put it up for sale in 2010 having lived there for nearly nearly six decades.

Its role in The Godfather came about after it was recommended to location scouts by actor and Staten Island-native Gianni Russo, who played Corleone son-in-law Carlo Rizzi.

Gutted and renovated in 2012, the property comes with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as a gym and a playroom.

There is also plenty of room for running a family business from home – namely four garages and two offices. A granite saltwater pool also provides a backdrop for hosting parties, while a security system should help keep unwanted guests out.

“The kitchen is to die for,” estate agent Joseph R Profaci told the Staten Island Advance.

“It has anything you would want for entertaining – big open space, a huge island, and a very large eating area that opens up to the yard and pool.”

Profaci added that his favourite feature of the house was a wooden door on the first floor which looked like the entrance to an old speakeasy. It leads down to a basement containing a pub, stone fireplace and game room, which he described as the “ultimate man cave”.

Just one word of advice for potential buyers: make him an offer he can’t refuse.
