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.
"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."
