Property Details
This home is truly a diamond in the rough. Designed by AJ Downing, this home has fallen into disrepair, but has much of the original woodwork, and character still intact. It has been vandalized, and there has been water damage, but is still worth it to restore this Grand Lady to her original glory. Taxes have been successfully grieved, and lowered,and will remain lower under the tax incentives offered by the Historic district's restoration program.

If I had the money, I could have so much fun fixing this place up. As dangerous as Newburgh can be - it was recently named the Murder Capital of New York State - Montgomery and Grand Streets (and the surrounding neighborhoods) have some very appealing, old homes at awfully reasonable houses. I believe the realtor is playing fast and loose with the facts here, though, as realtors are sometimes wont to do. If this house was built in 1870, as the realtors claim, then it's unlikely that A. J. Downing designed it, as he died back in 1852. Also, Downing wasn't actually an architect but only a tastemaker and is only known to have designed a small number of buildings himself. The floor plans and illustrations appearing in his books were usually the work of associates and architect friends like Calvert Vaux, Frederick Clarke Withers, A.J. Davis and Gervace Wheeler. This is still a gorgeous house, though!
