16 Elizabeth St Port Jervis, NY 12771

Built in 1880, this brick Victorian residence seamlessly blends historic elegance, architectural detail, and modern functionality. The beautifully preserved brick main structure exudes durability and classic charm. The front porch features an ornamental pavilion crowned with a faceted pointed roof - a striking detail reflecting the artistry of Victorian design. Together, the sculptured porch and brick exterior create a warm and inviting facade. A standout feature is the 2025 Brava synthetic slate roof, accented by copper rakes, valleys, drip edges, and custom copper detailing over the bay window. Delivering the timeless appearance of natural slate with exceptional durability and minimal maintenance, it beautifully complements the original bluestone window headers. In 2024, all flat roofs were replaced, and in 2023, Leaf Gutter systems were installed for added convenience. The custom gingerbread trim, inspired by a historic home in Orleans, Cape Cod, incorporates sixteen Gothic cusps as a subtle nod to the house number. These intricate architectural details create exceptional curb appeal while honoring the home's Victorian heritage. Inside, the owner's residence is thoughtfully designed for both comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The main level features an inviting entry hall adorned with Thibaut wall coverings, a sun-filled living room showcasing original architectural details, and a formal dining room enhanced by an arched bay window, Egg & Dart crown moldings, and beautifully appointed old English Greeff (F. Schumacker & Co.) wallpaper. Off the dining room, a charming coffee conservatory with classic black-and-white checkered floors creates a delightful alcove for morning coffee, a favorite book, or evening cocktails. Bathed in natural light and perfectly suited for botanical displays, this unique space offers a rare touch of conservatory-inspired living seldom found in today's homes. The eat-in kitchen, accented with wainscoting, is rich in character and features butcher block countertops, solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. A convenient mudroom and full bath add practicality to the home's historic charm. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, all featuring original hardwood flooring, a dedicated home office, and a second full bath. Two bedrooms showcase beautiful stained-glass windows, while three cedar closets provide additional character and functionality. Additionally, two legal units (not pictured) offer exceptional flexibility for rental income, guest accommodations, a variety of living conditions, or a private workspace, however, can potentially be converted to a one or two family home. Outside, a private fenced garden provides a peaceful retreat with mature plantings that offer season-long color. Fig and hydrangea trees, David Austin roses, lavender, and other established perennials create a picturesque setting that enhances the home's architecture. Beyond the garden lies a portion of historic Drew Field, included as part of the property. Once owned by the Drew Methodist Church and the setting for cherished community sunrise services, this expansive green space of lawn of (an additional 0.35 acres) and mature trees provides a rare sense of openness, privacy, and connection to the area's history. Combining architectural significance, modern updates, income-producing potential, and enchanting gardens, this extraordinary Victorian offers a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind property.
