""It was functioning as a two-family home with one apartment downstairs and one upstairs when we bought it. We had to do a lot of work to reconfigure it to a single-family home and bring it back to what it once was, which was a really big undertaking.""
""It was in a state of neglect and had a 1960s kitchen that was collapsing, along with a staggering amount of carpeting over carpeting.""
""Underneath all that carpet were these protected and beautiful wide-plank floors.""
""There were some charming details that we left intact, including doors and molding. The stairs and banister were also in really good condition.""
Christina Salway and John Moskowitz purchased a historic Hudson Valley home in October 2024 for $205,000. They renovated the 1,572-square-foot property, originally a two-family dwelling, to restore it as a single-family home. The renovation revealed original features like wide-plank floors and decorative fireplaces, amidst challenges from the home's neglected state. Salway focused on preserving the home's historical integrity while updating its practicality, resulting in a listing price of $685,000, reflecting significant added value.
