An Elegant, Seven-Fireplace Beauty in Newburgh

  |  December 5, 2025

This restored, fully furnished Victorian was believed to be originally built for Sylvanus Thayer, one of the first superintendents of the nearby U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

This home is exquisite, with seven fireplaces and designer-planned bedrooms. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves: Let’s linger outside a moment, to admire the textured porch columns, gingerbread trim, and decorative barge boards at the roofline. The gray siding almost takes on a lavender hue. And that second-floor covered porch? Divine.

A paneled front door is flanked by paneled sidelights and a big transom that bring sunshine into the foyer.

The parlor has a beautiful marble fireplace flanked by six-over-six windows.

A curved window seat hugs a bow window on another wall in the parlor.

Wide-plank flooring glows in the dining room, which is anchored by another stately marble fireplace.

The kitchen is “period-sympathetic…with bespoke charm,” according to the listing. Quartz counters sit atop dark cabinetry.

There’s a lot of room here, with potential for a redesign if the new owner so desires.

This sitting room has another marble fireplace, this one in a darker tone.

A half-bath shares a wall with the sitting room.

A slightly dusty library (let’s face it, the dust adds to its charm) sports an angular marble fireplace.

This bedroom is large, with a hardwood floor and lots of windows.

The ensuite bath has a dual-sink vanity and a platform soaking tub with a brass shower system.

Another full bath has a tub/shower in a bluish-gray tone, with complementary tones throughout the rest of the bathroom.

Another beautiful marble fireplace highlights this bedroom.

A daybed fits well in this bedroom.

The final bedroom has a sculpted, wall-to-wall carpet and the seventh marble fireplace. The house sits on a half-acre and is listed, fully furnished, at $748,000. It’s about a mile from the Thruway and great antique shopping at Newburgh Vintage Emporium.
