Property Description

Welcome to The Reeve House, a circa 1836 Italianate residence set on a rare triple lot in Newburgh's East End Historic District. One of the earliest homes built on Grand Street, the three-bay-wide wood-frame dwelling has pilastered corners, a front door flanked by sidelights and transom, and a bracketed cornice that speaks to the craftsmanship of its era. Built by George and Caroline Reeve, a family of prominent silver merchants, the residence has original silver door knobs and hardware from the period still in place. The property was willed to a neighboring church in the early 20th century, and served as the official rectory for over fifty years, a period of institutional stewardship that accounts for the home's extraordinary state of preservation. That unbroken chain of care is written into every preserved detail: black and white marble mantels, oversized moldings and plaster medallions on light fixtures, five decorative fireplaces, original windows with wavy glass, cast iron radiators, and a collection of original pocket shutters, etched-glass pocket doors, and folding window hardware that remains intact and in working order. The garden-level apartment adds a one-bedroom, one-bath suite with its own entrance and kitchen, suited equally for rental income or extended guest quarters. The main residence spans three floors with five bedrooms and three full baths. Intricate plaster moldings and wide hardwood floors run throughout, with ten-foot ceilings on the parlor and second floors and a mix of original and designer lighting. On the parlor floor, two sets of original pocket doors with silver hardware connect the formal parlor and dining room, each anchored by a decorative fireplace with original marble mantels. A side conservatory spans two floor-to-ceiling window surrounds with glass doors and accordion-folding interior pocket shutters that tuck neatly into the window frames, drawing light deep into the adjoining rooms. The kitchen, just off the dining room, has been fully updated with green cabinetry and butcher block countertops, with original moldings left in place. The second floor holds two large bedrooms, each with a decorative fireplace and one with Hudson River views, a smaller third bedroom, and a renovated full bath with a checkerboard floor, claw foot tub, a 19th century marble sink, and built-in cabinetry. The upper floor offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a flexible room suited to a study or studio, and ample storage, with wide plank floors and Hudson River views. Outside, the grounds unfold with mature trees, a generous front lawn framed by a white picket fence, and a driveway. The property offers genuine space for vegetable beds and perennial borders, and is next door to a handsome historic church. Recent infrastructure improvements have been thoughtfully completed to enhance comfort and reliability, all completed with care for the original character of the house. The Reeve House places you at the center of Newburgh's ascendant Historic District, on a street lined with architectural landmarks. George Washington's Headquarters sits just blocks away, intact and open to the public. Thomas Edison introduced electricity to Newburgh in 1884, making it among the first cities in the world to be lit. Downing Park, conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, designers of Central Park, is a short walk. Every December, the Newburgh Candlelight Tour winds through these storied blocks, opening the neighborhood's finest historic interiors to the public. Liberty Street's shops, restaurants, and galleries are steps away, and the local ferry dock and bridge both offer quick passage to Beacon's Metro-North station, with trains reaching Manhattan in under an hour and forty minutes.
