By |2025-10-16T12:10:24+00:00October 14th, 2025|Real Estate|

Built in 1870 and located within the East End Historic District, this six-unit Victorian home pairs timeless architecture with modern performance. Once derelict, it has been reimagined by its current owner as both a neighborhood landmark and a fully stabilized income property, preserving historic character while embracing contemporary design and comfort. Behind its shingled façade and wraparound porch are six distinct apartments, each thoughtfully restored. Period millwork, leaded-glass windows, arched doorways, and tiled fireplaces recall the home’s 19th-century craftsmanship, while modern kitchens, updated baths, and custom finishes bring the building firmly into the present. Notable highlights include mirrored octagonal rooms with oversized windows, marble countertops and eat-in islands, French doors between living and sleeping areas, and a top-floor unit with a deep soaking tub and balcony with sprawling Hudson River views. Currently configured as five long-term rentals and one high-performing short-term unit, the property has a proven history of strong income and operational flexibility. A separately deeded, non-buildable lot across the street is included in the sale, preserving panoramic river views for the long term. With its combination of architectural integrity, financial strength, and prime positioning on one of Newburgh’s most picturesque bluff streets, this historic home presents the opportunity to own one of the city’s most distinctive riverfront properties.
