17 Richman Ave Newburgh NY

This is a cute bungalow just west of 9W close to the Colonial Terraces neighborhood. There isn’t a whole lot that can be said about the home because of the lack of photos. No kitchen or bathroom photos usually means there is work to be done. But this are feels more like suburbia than a city. Perhaps a nice compromise if you are interested in being in the City of Newburgh but still want a driveway and a larger front lawn.
