208 Montgomery Street, Newburgh, NY 12550

Property Description

Set high on a hillside in New York State's largest historic district, this four-story 1850s residence opens to uninterrupted views of the Hudson River and surrounding mountains. Light enters from every angle, folding the shifting landscape into the architecture itself. Inside, restored period windows, original millwork, high ceilings, and four fireplaces anchor the house in its 19th-century origins. The renovation embodies a rare balance of traditional character and minimalist restraint. Historic features are preserved with care, while each new intervention is thoughtful, pared-back, and deliberate. The kitchen, reimagined for the modern chef with bespoke cabinetry and hidden appliances, combines function with refinement. The home offers three bedrooms and two baths, along with flexibility and growth: a finished garden level with direct outdoor access that could be reimagined as its own unit, and an expansive attic with plumbing and electrical in place—offering a canvas for a primary suite, creative studio, or office. Take advantage of Historic Tax Credits available for future renovation/restoration projects. An expansive deck extends the main living space outward, suspended above river and valley, while private grounds provide both sanctuary and possibility. Minutes from Newburgh’s riverfront, Beacon’s Metro-North station, and the cultural and natural landmarks of the Hudson Valley, the property balances seclusion with connection. With provenance linked to Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park, this residence embodies a rare convergence of history and restraint—an architectural legacy recast for modern living.
