168 Grand St, Newburgh, NY 12550

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 Newburghs 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 membr
