171 1st St.

171 First Street sits in the heart of Newburgh’s East End Historic District, one of the largest historic districts in New York State, just one block south of Broadway and steps from the Liberty Street corridor. The surrounding blocks are lined with 19th century brick rowhouses and mixed-use buildings, and the neighborhood has seen steady reinvestment from artists, makers, small businesses, and owner-occupants drawn to its architecture and walkability. Broadway, Newburgh’s main commercial spine, is a short walk away, and Liberty Street’s restaurants, cafes, galleries, and shops are around the corner. The Hudson River waterfront, with its restaurants, promenade, and the Newburgh-Beacon Ferry to Metro-North service in Beacon, is approximately half a mile east, and Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site is nearby as well. Regional access is excellent. Broadway leads directly west to Interstate 84 (approximately 2 miles), and the New York State Thruway (I-87) at Exit 17 is approximately 3 miles away, connecting the property to New York City (about 60 miles south), Albany, and the greater Hudson Valley. The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge provides quick access to Dutchess County and the Metro-North Hudson Line, and New York Stewart International Airport is approximately 6 miles west. This combination of historic neighborhood character, walkable downtown amenities, and highway and air access makes the location well suited to an artisan workshop, a live/work studio, or a residential conversion.171 First Street is a well-built, freestanding workshop on a corner lot at First and Johnston Streets in the City of Newburgh. Constructed in 2018 of brick and vinyl on a concrete slab, the building pairs an open, high-ceiling shop floor with a second-level loft and storage area, a private office with windows, a half bath, and a utility sink. Two insulated overhead doors with openers serve the shop, a separate entrance opens at the front, and a rear lot provides off-street parking. The infrastructure is a standout. The building is served by a 200-amp, 120/240V electrical system with multiple subpanels, dedicated 240V equipment circuits, and dozens of dedicated 20-amp outlet circuits throughout the shop, with all wiring run in commercial-grade conduit. Ductless mini-split units provide efficient heating and cooling, supplemented by electric heat, and the building has its own electric water heater along with municipal water and sewer and natural gas available at the site. LED lighting, ceiling fans, security cameras, and a Wi-Fi network round out a space that is ready to work on day one. The property suits a range of buyers: an artisan, maker, or contractor seeking an owner-occupied shop; an artist looking for a live/work studio with a loft; or a buyer envisioning a residential conversion in one of Newburgh’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods. With newer construction and the hard costs of power, plumbing, and climate control already in place, it offers a rare head start in Newburgh’s historic core, just minutes from Broadway, Liberty Street, and the Hudson River waterfront.
