Tucked behind a long private drive on 25 acres of park-like land 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. The masterfully laid stone facade, slate roof, columned entry portico, and ornamental wrought-iron balcony set a tone of timeless architectural gravitas that continues throughout. Step through the arched leaded-glass front entry into a grand center hall foyer, nearly 29 feet in length, where original wainscoting, crown moldings, and hardwood floors immediately signal the quality of craftsmanship that defines this home. A sweeping curved staircase with rich hardwood handrail rises to the upper floors, and the formal living room, anchored by an elegant carved-mantel fireplace and flanked by French doors opening to a 32-foot screened porch, is an exceptional space for gracious entertaining. The formal dining room features a bay window overlooking the greenhouse garden and a brass chandelier, offering the kind of scale and character rarely found in contemporary construction. The kitchen connects to a butler's pantry, preserving the home's original service flow, with a powder room and multiple entries completing the main level. Upstairs, five generous bedrooms include a primary suite with private bath, dressing room, and Juliet balcony, joined by a dedicated home office and four bathrooms across the second floor. Below grade, the lower level is a singular achievement: entirely paneled in hand-carved Gothic-influenced oak, the recreation room and bar evoke a private English pub of the finest order, complete with a brick fireplace, built-in cabinetry, a bar with seating, and extensive custom woodwork throughout. A dedicated wine cellar with wood racking and stone floors, large laundry room, powder room, and extensive storage complete the level. The third floor presents a nearly 1,600-square-foot blank canvas, already plumbed for a bath and ready to be finished — offering tremendous potential as additional living quarters, a studio, or recreation space. Outside, the 25 acres offer rolling lawns, mature woodland, a tennis court, a stone-paved patio garden, and a spectacular greenhouse-conservatory with attached potting room, a true botanical sanctuary steps from the back of the house, and a feature that sets this property apart from any other in the region. A picturesque waterfall and stream wind through the property, and a detached multi-car garage adds everyday practicality. Brand-new energy-efficient electric heat pump systems have been installed throughout, delivering modern mechanical performance within a home of irreplaceable historic character. Conveniently located minutes from the Newburgh waterfront, Stewart International Airport, Metro-North at Beacon, and the full cultural and recreational corridor of the Hudson Valley — and approximately 75 minutes from New York City. 11 Fostertown Road is a legacy property offered move-in ready, where architecture, landscape, and history converge in a way that simply cannot be replicated.
