1856 GOTHIC REVIVAL MASTERPIECE IN HISTORIC BALMVILLE NY
Stunning and significant, Frederick Clarke Withers' early Victorian masterpiece sits serenely back from the road in elegant Balmville, surrounded by sweeping lawns. Completed in 1856, its spacious rooms with 10-ft ceilings lend grandeur & grace, reflecting the splendor of the era. Period details in the 5 unique fireplaces, mahogany coffered ceilings, wall paneling, original recessed mahogany bookcases and a wonderful decorative strap work ceiling make it extraordinary. Meticulously carved wood built-ins, ornamental plaster swag molding & ceiling moldings with dainty corner cartouches, add beauty and charm. With funky 40's bathrooms & a completed updated kitchen, recent extensive repairs have been made inside and out including the slate roof, plumbing & electricity. A paved verandah runs the length of the house, perfect for al fresco dining & evening soirees. An exciting, important piece of Newburgh history that a few special touches will make shine again, as brightly as it did in 1856.
