98 Grand Street

Own, live and/or potentially work in an important building from Newburgh's grand historical past! 98 Grand was built in the 1870s for a prominent member of the community with old newspaper clippings reporting fabulous soirees in the front parlor with mandolins, banjos and piano recitals. It was modified in the 1890s by the Newburgh Board of Education to include a staircase to the original Newburgh Library next door which still exists! albeit as a bookcase now. The unusual and extraordinary front window likely also dates from the 1890s as does the magnificent front parlor. Modernized and beautifully updated over the years that followed, 98 is now a well maintained solid brick 4 unit building with 2 x 1 bed apts on the 2nd and 3rd floors with Hudson River views from their kitchens and bathrooms along with a convenient coin operated washer dryer on the 2nd floor. On the first floor there is a gorgeous spacious 2 bed apartment which still tells the story of its parlor days with its open plan space and original front window intact. The lower level with a separate entrance has recently been updated with a brand new HVAC system creating an inviting large 1000 sq ft office space with separate shower and bathroom overlooking an internal courtyard. This private space could potentially be developed further to become a live/work space being ideally situated in this prime position on Grand St in the first few blocks off Broadway. Located a few doors up the road from the Masonic Hall currently being repurposed as an upscale Hotel and Spa with a rooftop martini lounge overlooking the Hudson, as well as being walking distance from all the cafes, restaurants, bars and art galleries on Liberty St and Broadway AND riverfront dining on the Hudson River below! 98 grand is an ideal opportunity to own a piece of Newburgh's history while also becoming a part of its present day renaissance.
