Welcome home to one of the most unique landmark homes in all 5 boroughs. Nestled along the North Shore of Staten Island, minutes from the ferry, sits the home of the renowned Parisian artist John Noble. Coming to America in 1919, Noble was a fixture on the McCarren Line tugboats, towing sailing vessels in and out of New York Harbor. From there, his fascination with the maritime world took off, leading to a lifetime of work as a sailor, mariner, and salvager of New York Harbor.
There he fell in love with the "graveyard of the sea" of wooden sailing vessels, a sight that stayed with him for the rest of his life. In 1941, he began building a floating studio, a "houseboat" made from salvaged ship parts, which you can see proudly displayed street-side at the Snug Harbor Museum, home to the John Noble exhibition.
270 Richmond Terrace is located in the St. George Historic District and was built in 1910. This 3,000 sq ft landmark home is truly one of a kind. Nautical details throughout are subtly noted, from original porthole windows and shiplap ceilings, to preserved stained glass and an unobstructed view of New York Harbor.
Situated on a 4,100 sq ft 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 undergone a complete renovation and will be delivered vacant; ideal for an investor or an owner-occupier. Both units are mirror images of one another, with basement and attic access/storage for each, as well as private front and back porches and private backyards. New sod has just been laid and the current tenant has maintained an immaculate collection of flowers and plants throughout the backyard, displaying a bucolic oasis.
Each duplex unit is comprised of 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, as well as a formal living and dining room, a rarity to find. Each unit has its own heat and hot water.
Set back behind the original stone retaining wall, which was also built to house the 250 sq ft private garage, which has been recently re-tarred and is large enough to house a car, a scooter, and a variety of household items. The height at which the home is set back allows for unparalleled views of New York Harbor, while also being immersed in trees, allowing for seclusion and solitude in a bustling world.
Just a 10-minute ride to the Staten Island Ferry, you are in Manhattan in under an hour. Furthermore, the conveniences of St. George's shops and restaurants are right at your doorstep. Ready to have the best of the suburbs without leaving New York City?
Welcome home to 270 Richmond Terrace.
