This is a very special home for sale. It is likely part of the original five bricks saved by Libby Lyon, Newburgh’s own Jane Jacobs. She saved this home and another four (or six depending who you talk to) from destruction from urban renewal. It’s a remarkable story that you can read more in depth here and here.
Besides the history, this home has great Hudson River views and a few original details that remain. If you love old homes, there are still plenty of restoration opportunities here. This is a foreclosure.
