Dobrodošli kući u jednu od najjedinstvenijih označenih kuća u svih pet okruga. Smještena uz sjevernu obalu Staten Islanda, nekoliko minuta od trajekta, nalazi se dom slavnog pariškog umjetnika, Johna Noblea. Nakon što je došao u Ameriku 1919. godine, Noble je postao stalni član vučnih brodova McCarren koji su vukli jedrilice u i iz New York luke. Od tada, njegova fascinacija svijetom pomorstva je krenula, što je dovelo do cjeloživotnog rada kao jedrilica, mornara i pomorskog spasitelja NY luke. Tamo se zaljubio u "veliko groblje" drvenih jedrilica, viziju koja ga je pratila tijekom ostatka života. Godine 1941. počeo je graditi ploveći, "kućni čamac" studio napravljen od spašenih dijelova brodova koji se može ponosno vidjeti malo dalje na ulici u muzeju Snug Harbor, gdje se nalazi izložba Johna Noblea.

270 Richmond Terrace nalazi se u povijesnoj četvrti St. George i izgrađena je 1910. Ova kuća od 3000 četvornih stopa je zaista jedinstvena. Pomorski detalji su uočljivi svuda, od port holeova i originalnih drvenih stropova, do očuvanih vitraža i nesmetanog pogleda na New York luku.

Smeštena na terenu od 4100 četvornih stopa, ova kuća sa 2 porodice sastoji se od dva stambena jedinice. Jedna jedinica je zauzeta zakupcem na slobodnom tržištu, dok je druga upravo prošla kroz potpunu renovaciju i bit će isporučena prazna; idealna za investitora ili kupca koji želi sebične koristi. Obje jedinice su ogledne slike jedna druge, sa pristupom/skladištem za podrum i tavan za svaku, kao i privatnim prednjim i stražnjim trijemovima i privatnim dvorištima. Novi travnjak je upravo postavljen, a trenutni stanar je održavao besprijekoran asortiman cvijeća i biljaka po dvorištu, prikazujući bucoličnu oazu. Svaka duplex jedinica sastoji se od 3 spavaće sobe i 1.5 kupaonica, kao i formalnog dnevnog i blagovaonskog prostora, što je rijetkost pronaći. Svaka jedinica ima vlastito grijanje i toplu vodu.

Smeštena iza izvorne kamenog zadržavajuće zidne strukture koja je također izgrađena da bi smjestila privatnu garažu od 250 četvornih stopa koja je nedavno premazana i dovoljno je velika da smjesti auto, moped i niz kućnih predmeta. Visina na kojoj je kuća smještena omogućava nenadmašne poglede na New York luku, dok istovremeno pruža zaklon u drveću, omogućujući povlačenje i tišinu u užurbanom svijetu.

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.
