The Chapman Steamer is a former City of Newburgh firehouse at 179 Dubois Street, looking out over Vaux and Olmsted's final commission, Downing Park. The owner is a multimedia artist who has completed a beautiful fully hands on restoration of the two upper floors of the building, with a massive loft living space on the top floor and an equally expansive studio space just below.

The furnished loft living space includes a large open kitchen with Bosch and Fisher Paykel appliances, and salvaged bowling alley counters with a large matching dining table. There is light from windows on all sides of the building and views out over Newburgh to Mount Beacon and moutnains beyond. The elegant period-tiled bathroom features a large clawfoot tub, shower, and a squat toilet (there is a traditional toilet just down the stairs in the studio space).

The studio space, on the middle floor, is likewise an expansive fully floor-thru light filled space which has been used for dance and video works over the last decade. Both floors are conditioned via a high efficiency heating system as well as ductless mini-splits for cooling. A washer and dryer are located just off the rear dining roof deck which also look out over the adjoining park.

This sublet does not include the engine-bay on the ground floor which is still in the restoration process. Dates are potentially flexible, just reach out!

About This Lister

I'm a Newburgh based Realtor and historic preservationist. I live just a few blocks from the Chapman building and am always happy to talk about anything related to this amazing city on the Hudson. The owner is a friend and client who I vouch for as an excellent person to rent from.
