About 68 Chapel Rd

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.
