49 Burd Street, Nyack, NY 10960

Historic and Modern Nyack meet in the ultimate "work from home", multi-use river view building. The owners created a fabulous expanded second-floor residence, taking advantage of the views. Until recently, 49 Burd was home to the iconic Squash Blossom store, a local legend for 50 years, offering authentic Native American jewelry and crafts. It is included in the village's Downtown Multi-use zone, offering many residential and commercial possibilities for a new owner. The building has been used by family members for many years, estimated rent roll for investor would be approximately six thousand dollars per month if rented as 2 BR apartment, store space, and 2 offices. The mid-1800s footprint housed a saddlery, where saddles, reins, etc. were repaired for locals and travelers who stayed at the St George Hotel across the way. The front-facing portion (including the entry hall, a charming first-floor room, the stairway, and the upstairs living room) still has the original beautiful 1800s wide-board pine floors from that period, as well as a neoclassical fireplace surround and window moldings. The antique flooring has been matched in the expanded spaces, providing a seamless transition. The expanded 2nd floor light-filled apartment offers dramatic high ceilings, Hudson River views, two bedrooms with cathedral ceilings, a chic renovated bath, large laundry area, and lots of closet/storage space. Salvaged beams from the original attic space add drama to the open concept living area. The first floor includes the spacious hardwood-floored store space (16x36 ft) with a large display window and a separate entry. Two more light-filled rooms that can be offices (or possible additional living spaces) and a full bath with clawfoot tub/shower complete this floor. The large 2nd floor deck is a great place to gaze at the river and a prime location to watch Fireworks on the Fourth in nearby Memorial Park. A sweet, private urban backyard is accessed from the deck and from the first floor, and owner/occupants or tenants will be one block from the marina area (bring your boat!) and Memorial Park, or one block from Nyack's fantastic shops, clubs and restaurants.
