How much does it cost to own a piece of Bronx history? Right now, it’s $1.39 million — and that’s a $100,000 discount.

Near Fieldston, and believed to be the oldest residence in the Bronx, the Old Hadley Farm House just received a price cut for that sum, according to a StreetEasy listing update. It now asks $1.39 million after listing in mid-April for $1.49 million, as The Post reported at that time.

In 2024, the dwelling asked a higher $2.25 million. Property records show it has not traded hands since 1999.

Bronx historians have been unable to verify the date of the home’s original stone structure. Unconfirmed claims have swirled that it was built in 1747, which would pre-date the nearby Van Cortlandt Mansion, which is the oldest home in the borough. That would also pre-date the founding of the United States of America.

Still, its look is positively charming. The stone portions blend with wooden siding and shutters on some windows.

“It really tells the story of New York in one house. And it’s not like you drive along a tree-lined driveway to get there. It’s smack dab in the middle of your of a regular-looking Bronx Street,” Nick Dembowski, a historian at the nearby Van Cortlandt House Museum, previously told The Post.

That said, this listing indeed presents a rare opportunity for house hunters searching for some old New York flavor.

“This is a rare opportunity to steward one of the Bronx’s most historically significant properties,” James Endress, of Julia B Fee Sotheby’s International Realty, told The Post in a statement about the Wednesday price update. “The home requires a comprehensive renovation, and we’ve adjusted the price to reflect current market conditions and attract a buyer with a vision for this landmark. At $1.39 million, we’ve repositioned the property in line with comparable offerings in the neighborhood that also need renovation. This is truly for someone passionate about historic architecture — a chance to transform an important piece of Bronx heritage into the trophy estate it deserves to be.”

His listing describes the property, with five bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, as a development and renovation opportunity. The residence itself is landmarked — the detached garage is not — and it spans 2,660 square feet. That, the garage and a yard span 0.34 acres.

It all stands on a leafy block in the northernmost stretch of the Bronx.

A tenant farmer by the name of Isaac Green was recorded as the first resident. In addition, there were five enslaved people.

Given its date of existence, the home also witnessed action during the Revolutionary War.

The home operated as a British outpost when, in 1778, an French office led rebel troops on a night raid.

A man named Colonel Armand, according to records previously cited by Dembowski, snuck up on the troops in the dark — the lookout guy was apparently drunk — and “kind of slapped them around a little bit and humiliated them.”

The home has maintained its current look since 1915, thanks to an expansion and a renovation by the architect Dwight James Baum. Baum maintained some of its oldest touches, such as bark-intact wood beams from trunks cut in half.

But these days, it needs a bit of love.

“My sincere hope is that whoever ends up buying this house has the means to really preserve it, because it does need a fair amount of preservation work,” Dembowski previously told The Post.
