Property Description
Tucked behind a long private drive on 25 park-like acres in the storied Balmville neighborhood of the Town of Newburgh, this distinguished 1938 Georgian Colonial stone manor is one of the Hudson Valley’s most remarkable estate offerings. Original architectural plans dated 1937 identify noted Newburgh architect Gordon S. Marvel as architect for William C. Scott, Esq. An extraordinary collection of original drawings and blueprints remains with the property, documenting the residence in remarkable detail and offering a rare connection between the home as conceived and the estate that stands today. The masterfully laid stone facade, slate roof, columned entry portico, and ornamental wrought-iron balcony establish the home’s timeless character. Step through the arched leaded-glass entry into an impressive yet classic center hall foyer, where wainscoting, crown moldings, hardwood floors, and a sweeping curved staircase showcase the craftsmanship throughout. The formal living room features a carved-mantel fireplace and French doors opening to a 32-foot screened porch, while the formal dining room overlooks the greenhouse garden through a beautiful bay window. The kitchen connects to a butler’s pantry, preserving the home’s original service flow. Upstairs, five generous bedrooms include a primary suite with private bath, dressing room, and Juliet balcony, along with a dedicated home office and four second-floor bathrooms. The lower level is a singular achievement, paneled in hand-carved Gothic-influenced oak and evoking a private English pub, complete with brick fireplace, built-in cabinetry, bar, wine cellar, stone floors, laundry room, powder room, and extensive storage. The nearly 1,600-square-foot third floor, already plumbed for a bath, offers tremendous potential for additional living quarters, studio, or recreation space. Outside, rolling lawns and mature woodland surround a tennis court, stone-paved garden, picturesque waterfall and stream, attached three-car garage, and spectacular greenhouse-conservatory with attached potting room, a true botanical sanctuary steps from the house. Brand-new energy-efficient electric heat pump systems provide modern mechanical performance within a home of irreplaceable historic character. Perhaps most remarkable is the property’s surviving architectural archive. Gordon S. Marvel drawings dating to September 1937 document floor plans, elevations, fireplaces, windows, millwork, and other custom details, while later drawings chronicle the continued evolution of the Scott estate. Preserved with the property for nearly nine decades, the collection provides an uncommon record of its design and craftsmanship. Conveniently located minutes from the Newburgh waterfront, Stewart International Airport, Metro-North at Beacon, and the Hudson Valley’s cultural and recreational destinations—and approximately 75 minutes from New York City—11 Fostertown Road is a legacy property where architecture, landscape, and nearly 90 years of documented history remain remarkably connected.
