Property Description

Absolutely Stunning brick Second Empire Victorian Mansion w/beautiful Hudson River Views! Located just 60 miles from NYC, this 1884 architectural treasure (on the National Register of Historic Places) is remarkably original, yet has the modern upgrades that make it a pleasure to live in today. Whether you are enjoying the Hudson River views from the west side of the home, enjoying the view of the other historic homes from the east side of the home, or enjoying delicious details, craftsmanship & gracious spaces inside the home, there is ample eye-candy to keep you satisfied. This is a home that really needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. It was designed by Architect Elkanah Shaw (whose family also produced all of the millwork for the home) for one of Newburgh's economic leaders of the day (see the last listing photo) - and as director of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company in Newburgh, Shaw worked with Thomas Edison to electrify the home during its construction (one of the very 1st homes in the world to be built with electrification). The quality of construction is strikingly evident throughout: detailed plaster work, high quality & highly-detailed millwork, basement brick walls supporting all interior walls above them, 5 interior staircases, 7 fireplaces, gorgeous front & rear porches, etc. Modern upgrades include: 200A electric system, modern plumbing, modern gas boiler, appropriately updated bathrooms & kitchen, refurbished box gutters & EPDM membrane top roofs (w/light grey silicone coating), & over 50 new double-paned architecturally-approved windows, to name a few. The interior spaces are spacious but still warm & inviting. The central hall floor plan provides a logical and comfortable flow, especially on the 1st floor - making entertaining (even large events) a pleasure. In addition to the primary bedroom suite, with its own full bath and full-room walk-in closet/changing room/laundry (with river views), there are 8 other bedrooms w/closets to use however you wish. Some are currently used as home office space, a media room, and extra family room, etc. The basement is has the same layout as the 1st floor & includes a well-equipped gym. The Kitchen retains its mid-century cabinetry & has new stainless appliances, ample pantry closets, and its own staircase leading to a full pantry room with a 2nd freezer. The 2-story rear porch & rear patio/yard are also great for entertaining - or just enjoying a quiet meal or morning coffee while enjoying the river view! There's also garden shed in the backyard w/lights & outlets to keep things charged. The driveway can support 3 cars & features a 50A outlet for a stage 2 car charger. It's easy to see why this home has appeared in several films and television shows over the past 10yrs. So many similar urban homes from this era were either demolished (during the destructive period of ''urban renewal'' of the late 1960s to early 1980s) or cut up into apartments over the years. This one managed to remain owner-occupied since its construction, and has survived, fully intact. No small feat! Walkable to mass transit, library, dining, shopping, waterfront, parks, etc. Newburgh was the ''taste-making center'' of the 19th century and is renowned for its beautiful 19th century homes - this is your chance to own one of the very best of them that still exists. A very rare opportunity, indeed. (more historical/home info available upon request)
