Classic White Farmhouse in Newburgh for $399,900

  |  August 25, 2011

This  1840 farmhouse in Newburgh is an interesting anomaly. Most of Newburgh’s historical homes housing stock consists of urban Victorian gems or imposing riverfront mansions with a bit of Miss Havisham feel. A classic center hall colonial farmhouse, complete with rocking chair porch and an extra acre of land, seems like something you’d find farther up the river. The realtor claims it to be one the first farmhouses in Newburgh. Newburgh’s farms are long gone, but if you buy this house, you could indulge in your country squire fantasies and have a slightly-worse-than-Westchester commute to the city.

The house has been well-maintained and has some appealing features: wood burning fireplaces inside and out, that deep porch as well as a stone patio, a tin ceiling in the kitchen and a separate workshop out back. It’s also in the more desirable Marboro school district, and Marlboro itself is a cute little town. The house has been on the market for six months, and the seller has knocked the price down by $20,000 twice, so it looks like this one could go for even less than the price tag. Stats and more pics on the jump.
