About This Property
68 Chapel Rd, Newburgh, NY 12550 – The Cape Cod with Hidden
Potential on 6.2 Acres. Just past the curve of a quiet country road
in Newburgh sits a home that doesn't shout for attention-but it
certainly earns it. Welcome to 68 Chapel Rd, a Cape Cod-style
residence tucked away on 6.2 lush, wooded acres in the heart of
Orange County. At first glance, it's a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath
home with a one-car attached garage and a detached two-car garage
that looks like it could host anything from classic cars to a
full-blown workshop. But there's more to this property than meets
the eye-much more. This home tells a story of space, privacy, and
possibility. With 1,119 square feet of main living space and a
full, unfinished attic, it already hints at its potential for
expansion. But it's what surrounds the home that truly sets it
apart. The 6.2-acre parcel offers privacy, mature trees, and room
to breathe. And if you're someone who sees opportunity where others
see just trees and soil, you'll be intrigued by this: preliminary
zoning analysis suggests the land may be sub-dividable. In fact, it
appears that two additional lots could be carved from the property,
making this an incredible option for investors, builders, or even
multi-generational families looking to create a compound. The
zoning in this part of Newburgh leans residential, and from initial
looks, the lot size and configuration could support two new home
sites-each with its own space, privacy, and entrance potential.
Whether you're imagining new builds tucked among the trees or a
family estate that grows with you, the path forward is worth
exploring with the town planning department. Back at the house, the
Cape Cod design feels classic and cozy. The pitched roof and simple
lines hold a timeless charm. Inside, the layout is practical, with
two comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, and common spaces that feel
warm and lived-in. The kitchen and living room could use updates if
your taste leans modern, but the structure is solid, and the home
has been cared for with intention. Then there's that attic.
Unfinished but surprisingly spacious, this upper level could
transform into an additional bedroom suite, home office, creative
studio, or expanded living space. Dormer windows could bring in
light and character, giving this cape the full second floor it
already hints at. The detached garage is another highlight. This
isn't your standard outbuilding-it's oversized, well-constructed,
and ready to serve whatever purpose you throw at it. Hobbyist? Car
enthusiast? Contractor needing on-site storage? You've got the room
here to make it happen. And don't overlook the location. Chapel Rd
feels like the country, but you're never far from convenience.
Major routes, shopping, and restaurants are just minutes away, and
for commuters, the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge and I-84 are easily
accessible. Want to head to the city? The Metro-North station in
Beacon is a short drive away, making this a quiet haven that
doesn't leave you feeling cut off. Whether you're drawn in by the
home's Cape Cod charm, the investment potential of the land, or the
idea of customizing a private retreat in Newburgh, 68 Chapel Rd
offers something rarely found in today's market: versatility. It's
a move-in ready home, an expandable canvas, and a development
opportunity all wrapped into one. Bring your vision. Walk the land.
Look past what is and imagine what could be. Because at 68 Chapel
Rd, you're not just buying a house-you're stepping into a property
with possibilities.
