Here is an interesting home that has just come on the market on Grand Street, a block with a lot of potential. There a few interior photos, so I’ll tell you what I know about the block. Two doors to the left, 277 Grand is known as “The Artists and Writers Building.” The new owner has fixed up the property and their family is very involved in exciting ventures in the city like the NewBurgh Food Co Share and Digital Territory. On the other side of the street is the Monell Mansion that is in the final stages of being sold to exciting new tenants. Unfortunately the house to the left, 279 Grand is abandoned last time I checked, but she is a beauty and hopefully won’t remain vacant forever.

The property is being marketed with an on site super and management options. However, the ratio of renters vs. buyers on this block is quite high. It would be ideal if an on site landlord bought this property. For the right buyer with the right intentions, this property is worth a look. If anyone knows any useful information on the property, please comment below.

This Victorian beauty is amongst some of Newburgh’s most stunning homes. There are no interior photos of this home, nor many details in the listing, but it is quite easy to dream up all the potential this home has just looking from the exterior. It is being listed as a multi-family home. According to the historic district tour guide, this home was built circa 1860 and the original owner was H.H. Stevens designed in the Italianate style. If you want more details you will have to contact the agent.

Right next to the Girdle Factory is 325 Liberty Street. This building is available in 2 parts (#1) 325 Liberty and (#2) 323 Liberty. First, we will focus on the 3 car garage and reception space (325 Liberty). This is a building built in 1957 that has an overall square footage of 9,148 sq ft if you are interested in the entire building (325 and 323).

The 3 car garage is an excellent space for an artist(s) who need high ceilings and concrete floors for their work. An extra perk is the reception space that could be used as an office or gallery. This would be ideal for an artist collective, however, the owner is also willing to rent out the space separately. Keep in mind, utilities are not included.

$1,900 – includes entire space, a 3-car garage and reception area
$350 – rent for each separate garage
$1150 – rent for reception space alone

This home is located on the last northern block of Grand Street, near to the Newburgh Yacht Club and the college. The listing says, “Continue the restoration that was started and bring your HUGE family and make this your new sweet townhome.” It is really hard to see from the photos the restoration that began. All you can really see are awkward layouts that were carved in the house for college housing. However, the house is in a good location and the listing says you can see river views from the top floor. Hopefully the house can convert back to a one family home easily.

The northern end of Liberty Street is a diamond in the rough with varied properties such as carriage houses, rowhomes, factories, and even even a famous tavern and cemetery. It’s going to take some vision for this area, but there are already a few people doing some wonderful renovations of homes. It would be a huge accomplishment to see the excitement that exists for lower Liberty extend up here as well. There is so much potential. The factory across the street just had an art opening last Saturday. How do you envision the possibilities of this area?

If you are looking for your chance to purchase a property on the Liberty Street corridor amongst the businesses making Newburgh’s revitalization happen, this property is certainly worth a look. The tattoo parlor isn’t there anymore, but this is the right spot to open a new business on Liberty Street just doors down from the Wherehouse Restaurant, Mrs. Max and the Custom House, soon to be opening Martha, and of course, Washington’s HQ. If anybody knows any important details about this property please let us know in the comments.
