Welcome to The Isaac Chapman House, a distinguished three-story brick Queen Anne residence built in 1885, and one of Newburgh's most celebrated architectural landmarks. Commissioned by Isaac Chapman, a significant 19th-century civic leader and one of Newburgh’s most successful businessmen, the house marked a pivotal moment in the city's architectural… Read More renaissance. Under prominent architect Elkanah Shaw's direction, it broke from the repetitive Italianate townhouses of the 1870s and ushered in a new age of creative design. Elaborate patterns adorn the slate roof, and Eastlake-style floriated carvings line the cornice. The masterful use of detail represents the finest Queen Anne craftsmanship in the Hudson Valley. Featured in films and a major Netflix series, this historic treasure has been meticulously restored to preserve every historic detail, from the encaustic-tiled entry beneath a Syrian arch and original Lincrusta wainscoting to the Vermont slate roof, while introducing refined contemporary systems including a gut-renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms adorned with Moroccan zellige and Belgian terra cotta tile, new plumbing and lighting, and zoned heating. The elevated hilltop position captures sweeping Hudson River views from the two wraparound verandas. Step through the recessed porch into a home of exceptional scale and light. The 8-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence spans three gracious floors, each room enhanced by soaring 11-foot ceilings. Windows flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day. Original wide plank hardwood floors flow through generous rooms anchored by two working wood-burning fireplaces. Hand-carved black walnut woodwork frames doorways and windows. Working pocket doors connect living spaces. Stained-glass windows cast colored glows across walls and floors, including an elliptical window with wooden keystone in the street-facing gable. The house has been restored under the stewardship of Matthew Brimer and Whitney Frances Falk, the acclaimed creative entrepreneurs behind ZZ Driggs, Special Address, and multiple ventures featured in The New York Times, Architectural Digest, and Vogue. The gut-renovated kitchen features a striking custom mosaic glass artwork, with modern appliances and fixtures. Two newly constructed bedrooms expand the living space, joining the partially finished attic with exposed beams. All bathrooms have been fully renovated with luxury fixtures and finishes as strikingly photogenic moments. Updates include refinished flooring, new plumbing, energy-efficient lighting, and radiant and zoned heating. Outside, two wraparound verandas with handpainted Tuscan columns extend from the rear, accessed through walk-out Savannah windows on both levels. The landscaped, fenced backyard offers a private garden retreat with mature plantings and a gate opening to the quiet street beyond. This historic treasure has captured the imagination of filmmakers and production designers, serving as a stunning backdrop for multiple films and a prominent Netflix series featuring A-list talent. The house is also a favorite in the boutique short-term rental world, offering attractive passive income momentum. The home's hilltop position on stately Grand Street with direct views of the Hudson River places you in the heart of Newburgh's ascendant Historic District, steps from Liberty Street's shops and restaurants. The local ferry dock and bridge both offer quick passage to Beacon’s Metro-North station within minutes for easy access to Manhattan. This is more than a historic home. It's a cultural landmark, a filmmaker's dream, and a masterwork of preservation enhanced for modern living. Read Less
