A very special home, from a very special family. This property is one of a kind and has been completely renovated top to bottom. The listing says it all:

“Renowned architect Thornton Niven laid the cornerstone in 1836 to build this elegant home for Rev.Dr John Brown and his family. According to historic records, the houses either side were built later for his daughters and so this select row of National Landmark homes came into being. “Quality Row” because of their elegance, the cost/quality of the workmanship and the “high social standing” of the original owners. Double brick construction with decorative clapboard ext means these homes are extremely solid, soundproof, and thermally insulated.This home has been lovingly restored and adapted to modern family life, sparing no expense in the high end restoration of this beautiful example of Federal architecture. Lead/asbestos remediated, new

 furnace and wiring upgrades, central AC, marble chef’s kitchen, new roof, gutters, water heater.There is a legal accessory apt in the basement awaiting completion and a carriage house with rear lane access to potentially develop as parking/studio space.”

This is a huge offer in downtown Newburgh right on Broadway. The rear building is also known as 10 Carpenter, where last summer, art show Orange Alert was held. These are just a sampling of the photos available. There is commercial space, residential space, and open studio space. Be sure to click through to the listing for all the details. A great opportunity for someone to contribute to the revitalization of the city with a vision.

Real Estate: 54 Benkard Ave $169,000

It’s not every day you see a home on Benkard Avenue being sold or converted back to a 1-family property. These rowhomes work better as single-family properties which makes this one exciting. Not to mention the original details that remain: the porch, double front doors, the mantle etc.

Work still remains to be done, most likely the bathrooms and kitchen. It is being marketed as having all the restoration heavy lifting done, “historic plaster walls are refinished, floors are carefully resurfaced, the yard is tidy and ready to enjoy, and the basement is clean. Now you get to do the fun part: choosing the finishing fixtures and designing a home you love.”

0 City Terrace Newburgh NY

This is a carriage house on City Terrace near St. Luke’s Hospital. It is actually a commercial property, and it is being used as an artist studio. South City Terrace isn’t the easiest block. A quick view in Google maps will confirm that. But this property looks very interesting. There are no interior photos. Here is a snippet from the listing:

“This structure was once a horse stable and offers one continuous, open space. Distinct features also include a large loft space which had served as the hayloft.There is a drive-in port with custom sliding doors to shelter vehicles. The floor slopes somewhat: a review by a structural engineer would be prudent.

This warehouse is currently used as an artist’s studio, and needs a new creative owner to realize its full potential. Interior pictures not included to protect current occupant’s privacy.”

Located at the very northern end of Lander Street, this row home is near other attractive row homes. They just haven’t see the same attention as other sections in the city. Be sure to check out the transformation of 197 Lander across the street that used to be abandoned.

Construction Watch: 2 Courtney

A major development for the Heights neighborhood has begun with the rehabilitation of 2 Courtney Avenue! This house has been in very poor condition for many years. Finally, a new owner has come along who is preservation minded. As you can see in the photo below, the house has been stripped of many historical details. The cupola was a large detail that was removed, and thankfully it is being replaced.

Neighbors are over the moon.

“After 10 years, I’m thankful for the new roof on this amazing house next door, and the sweet sound of construction.”

“This is such a huge renovation for the block.”

“I am so excited for this! That whole area is so beautiful and this is one of the best houses! So much character.”

This week the aluminum siding was taken down, revealing the original shingles that are still intact over 100 years later! Restoring these homes in Newburgh is no walk in the park. They require expertise and help from historic tax credits that make the cost more affordable.
