Tere tulemast koju ühte kõige ainulaadsematest ajaloolistest kodudest kõikides viies linnaosas. Staten Islandi põhjakaldal, minutite kaugusel parvlaevast, asub kuulsate Pariisi kunstniku John Nobles kodu. Ameerikasse tulles 1919. aastal oli Noble alalise kohalolekuna McCarren'i liini tõmmitsates, mis tõmbasid škunasid sisse ja välja New Yorgi sadamast. Sealt edasi süvenes tema huvi mereteema vastu, mis viis teda eluaegse tööni škunana, meremehena ja NY sadama meresalvestajana. Siin armus ta puidust purjekate "suurde luidistesse", nägemusse, mis jäi temaga terve elu. 1941. aastal alustas ta ujuva "maja" stuudio ehitamist, mis oli valmistatud päästetud laevaosadest, mille võite näha uhkelt esitlemas just tänaval Snug Harbori muuseumis, kus asub John Noble'i näitus.

270 Richmond Terrace asub St. George'i ajaloolises rajoonis ja ehitati 1910. aastal. See 3000 sqft ajalooline kodu on tõeliselt ainulaadne. Mereteemalised detailid kogu hoones on maitsekalt esile toodud, alates portaukudest ja originaal laevanduse lagi, säilinud vitraažakendeni ning takistamatule vaatele New Yorgi sadamale.

4100 sqft suurusel krundil asuv see kahe pereliikmega kodu koosneb kahest eluruumist. Üks ruum on hõivatud vabaturu üürniku poolt ja teine on just läbinud täieliku renoveerimise ning antakse üle tühjalt; ideaalne kas investorile või omanikule. Mõlemad ruumid on peegelpildid üksteisest, koos keldri ja pööningule juurdepääsu/säilitamisruumiga, samuti privaatsete ees- ja tagahoovidega ning privaatsete tagahoovidega. Uus murumuldade kiht on just pandud ja praegune üürnik on hoidnud hoovis laitmatul kujul erinevate lillede ja taimede kogumit, luues maalilise oaasi. Iga duplex-korter sisaldab 3 magamistuba ja 1.5 vannituba ning formaalset elutuba ja söögituba, mis on haruldus. Igal ruumil on oma kütte- ja sooja vee süsteem.

Esialgse kiviseina taga, mis rajati ka privaatsuse tõttu 250 sqft garaažile, mis on hiljuti uuesti krohvitud ja piisavalt suur, et mahutada autot, mootorratast ja mitmesuguseid kodu esemeid. Kõrgus, milles maja asub, võimaldab nautida ületamatuid vaateid New Yorgi sadamale, olles samas puude keskel, mis tagavad eraklikkuse ja rahu kiirellises maailmas.

Ainult 10 minuti kaugusel Staten Islandi parvlaevast oled Manhattanis vähem kui tunni jooksul. Lisaks on St. George'i poodide ja restoranide mugavused otse sinu ukse taga. Valmis saama eeskujulikku eeslinna, ilma New Yorgist lahkumata? Tere tulemast koju 270 Richmond Terrace.

Welcome home to one of the most unique Landmarked homes in all of the 5 boroughs. Nestled along the north shore of Staten Island, minutes from the ferry, lies the home of famed Parisian artist, John Noble. Coming in America in 1919, Noble was a permanent fixture on the McCarren line tugs which towed the schooners in and out of the New York Harbor. From there, his fascination for the world of Maritime took off, leading to a lifetime of work as a schooner, seaman, and marine salvager of the NY Harbor. Here he became enamored with the "great boneyard" of wooden sailing vessels, a vision that stayed with him for the remainder of his life. In 1941, he began to build a floating, "houseboat" studio made out of salvaged ship parts which you can see proudly displayed just down the street at the Snug Harbor Museum, where the John Noble exhibit lives.

270 Richmond Terrace lives in the St. George Historic District and was built in 1910. This 3000 sqft. Landmarked home is truly one of a kind. The nautical detailing throughout are tastefully spotted, from port holes and original shiplap ceilings, to preserved stained glass windows and an unobstructed view of the New York Harbor.

Sitting on a 4100 sqft lot, this 2-family home is comprised of two residential units. One unit is occupied by a free market tenant and the other has just underwent a complete renovation and will be delivered vacant; ideal for either an investor or owner occupied purchaser. Both units are mirror images of each other, with basement and attic access/storage for each, as well as private front & rear porches and private back yards. New grass has just been laid and the current tenant has maintained an immaculate assortment of flowers and plants throughout the yard, displaying a bucolic oasis. Each duplexed unit is comprised of 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths as well as a formal living and dining room, a rarity to find. Each unit has their own heat and hot water.

Perched behind the original stone retaining wall which also was built to house the private 250sqft garage that was recently replastered and is large enough to house a car, moped and an assortment of home items. The height that the house is set back at allows for unrivalled views of the New York Harbor, while at the same time being ensconced in trees, allowing for seclusion and solitude in a busy world.

A mere 10 minutes from the Staten Island ferry, you're in Manhattan in under an hour. Plus, the conveniences of St George shops and restaurants are right outside your door. Ready to have the best of the suburbs without leaving New York? Welcome home to 270 Richmond Terrace.
