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.
