This one truly is one of a kind! beautiful rambling (2800 sqft) 1810 homestead on a huge corner lot (1/3 acre) adjacent to newburgh urban farm and a short stroll to our beautiful downing park designed by frederic law olmsted. Drive in thru the post and rail fencing bordered with hemlocks and the 200 year old black locusts towering above, and discover this private urban oasis with plenty of off-street parking. This absolutely unique offering in the rapidly changing and beautiful historic riverfront city of newburgh has been a labor of love for a professional historic preservationist. No stone has been unturned in the painstaking restoration of this newburgh gem, but at the same time incorporating some modern design elements. All the hard work has been done here, with only some minor cosmetic details/ trim and the completion of a porch remaining. Where to start listing the improvements?! to give you some idea of the detail of the restoration : lead paint has been stripped on all the trim, doors and windows, with most original windows having been removed, reglazed, restrung and reinstalled. Most doors are original and the floors are the original wide planks, having never been sanded. The gorgeous sun drenched kitchen overlooking the garden feels country but has elegant appliances including a subzero fridge, a red vintage aga range, steel hood, and miele dishwasher and a recently installed to die for herringbone brick floor. Reclaimed hand made cabinets, a copper prep sink and a beautiful black soapstone counter and sink complete this large eat in kitchen. There are original mantles on all the 4 working fireplaces, one with gas in the main parlor making for easy cozy living and in warmer months the 3 dutch doors bring the garden inside when flung open and flood the house with light. The gardens boast a full corner of about 200 ft of hemlock hedges, a hornbeam privacy wall, a japonica and an arborvitea hedge, and a grove of red bud trees and bushes along the property line, just to mention some of the extensive and thoughtful planting done by the owners to create a sense of a mini estate. Along with one of the oldest sousa dogwoods in town, providing even more green living and privacy! this is a very special property where you feel and live like you are in the country, but in fact you are very close to newburgh's restaurants, waterfront and ferry, also enjoying fast access to all main nyc area and new england arteries.
