Set on 3 acres surrounded by open farmland, this Second Empire-style house, circa 1873, enjoys easterly views of Lake Champlain and westerly views of the foothills of the Adirondacks.
The house beautifully reflects the hallmark details of its era, featuring mansard roofs, ornate brackets, and cornices around the hipped roofline, along with large rectangular windows. Inside, the symmetrical layout spans the first and second floors, each with large east-facing and central rooms, and a grand room on the west end of the building. The third floor includes two large rooms and a sitting area with windows overlooking the lake, as well as a stairway leading to the fourth-floor tower, which offers 360-degree views.
The exterior of the house underwent significant restoration work between 2021 and 2023, including a new roof, restored cornices and brackets, and repointed brick siding. The large bluestone foundation has been reinforced, and drainage around the house has been improved.
The interior is now a blank slate, ready to be restored to its former grandeur. All outdated materials have been removed, and the walls, ceilings, and floors have been reinforced and secured, ready for a new look. The expansive west-facing room on the first floor features large glass doors that bring the lush green landscape inside, creating an ideal space for a modern kitchen and living area that could seamlessly blend with the more traditional middle and east-facing rooms. Beautiful pocket doors still separate the two rooms. Additional spaces include a room for a library or office and a spacious bathroom. With over 5,300 square feet, this house offers endless possibilities, just waiting for your taste and imagination. List of improvements and 3D tour available on our site.
Located close to two full-service marinas with seasonal restaurants both offer option to rent dock slips seasonally as well as winter storage.
