Karibu nyumbani kwenye moja ya nyumba za kipekee zenye alama katika borough tano zote. Ipo kando ya pwani ya kaskazini ya Staten Island, dakika chache kutoka kwenye kivuko, inapatikana nyumba ya msanii maarufu wa Kifaransa, John Noble. Alipofika Marekani mwaka 1919, Noble alikuwa sehemu ya kudumu kwenye meli za McCarren ambazo zilivuta meli za mizunguko ndani na nje ya Bandari ya New York. Kutoka hapo, kupendezwa kwake na ulimwengu wa baharini kulianza, na kumpelekea kufanya kazi kwa maisha yake yote kama mzalishaji wa meli, baharini, na mponyi wa baharini wa Bandari ya NY. Hapa alijikuta amehamasishwa na "makaburi makubwa" ya meli za mbao, maono ambayo yalidumu naye kwa maisha yake yote. Mwaka 1941, alianza kujenga studio ya "nyumba ya meli" iliyokuwa ikielea iliyotengenezwa kwa vipande vya meli vilivyookolewa na unaweza kuona vikiwasilishwa kwa fahari chini ya barabara katika Jumba la Makumbusho la Snug Harbor, ambapo maonyesho ya John Noble yapo.

270 Richmond Terrace ipo katika Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya St. George na ilijengwa mwaka 1910. Nyumba hii yenye alama ya 3000 sqft. ni ya kipekee kweli. Maelezo ya baharini yaliyoko kila mahali yanajionesha kwa ladha, kuanzia kwenye madirisha ya bandari na dari za asili, hadi madirisha ya kioo yaliyohifadhiwa na mandhari bila kizuizi ya Bandari ya New York.

Ikikaa kwenye eneo la 4100 sqft, nyumba hii ya familia mbili inajumuisha vitengo viwili vya makazi. Kipengele kimoja kinakaliwa na mpangaji wa soko huru na kingine kimepata ukarabati kamili na kitawasilishwa bila wapangaji; kizuri kwa mwekezaji au mnunuzi anayeishi mwenyewe. Vitengo vyote ni nakala za moja kwa moja vya kila mmoja, vyenye ufikiaji / uhifadhi wa kibanda na dari kwa kila mmoja, pamoja na mapazia ya mbele na nyuma ya kibinafsi na viwanja vya nyuma vya kibinafsi. Nyasi mpya hivi karibuni zimewekwa na mpangaji wa sasa ameendelea kudumisha mkusanyiko mzuri wa maua na mimea katika eneo lote, akionyesha oasis ya kijijini. Kila kitengo cha duplex kina vyumba 3 na bafu 1.5 pamoja na chumba rasmi cha siku na chumba cha kula, jambo adimu kupatikana. Kila kitengo kina joto lake mwenyewe na maji moto.

Imepangwa nyuma ya ukuta wa asili wa mawe ambao pia ulijengwa kuhifadhi garaji ya kibinafsi ya 250 sqft ambayo hivi karibuni ilipakwa upya na ni kubwa vya kutosha kuhifadhi gari, moped na vifaa mbalimbali vya nyumbani. Kimo cha nyumba kilichowekwa kinawezesha mtazamo usio na kipingamizi wa Bandari ya New York, huku kwa wakati mmoja wakiwa wamezungukwa na miti, wakiruhusu unyenyekevu na upweke katika ulimwengu wenye shughuli nyingi.

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.
