25 Church Street is not a cookie-cutter house—and that is exactly what makes it interesting. This classic Howells farmhouse offers the character, space, and potential that buyers often say they are looking for but rarely find at an approachable price point. With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, approximately 1,723 square feet, a full basement, walk-up attic, and nearly half an acre, there is real substance here for someone who can see beyond the current cosmetics. The home does need updating, and it is being presented honestly. But underneath the paint, finishes, and projects is a house with generous rooms, original details, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, a functional layout, and the kind of older-home character that cannot simply be recreated in new construction. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and workspace, while the flexible floor plan gives the next owner room to rethink, refresh, and personalize the home without starting from scratch. The walk-up attic and unfinished basement provide additional storage and possibilities, making the property even more versatile. What makes 25 Church Street stand out is the opportunity to create something truly personal. Instead of paying for someone else’s renovation choices, a buyer can bring their own ideas and restore this home in a way that fits their taste—whether that means leaning into its farmhouse roots, creating a clean modern-country look, or simply improving it room by room over time. Set on approximately 0.44 acres in the Minisink Valley School District, the property offers a comfortable country setting while remaining convenient to Middletown and surrounding Orange County communities. This is a home for the buyer who values potential over perfection. It needs work, but it also offers character, space, and a foundation for something special. With the right vision and improvements, 25 Church Street could become the kind of home buyers wish they had found before everyone else saw the possibilities.
