374 Lake Road, St. Albans Town, VT 05478-2275

Here’s a rare find and an impressive investment for anyone who loves cars or needs serious shop space. This 1850 home sits right in the St. Albans Town mixed commercial and residential district, topped with a classic standing-seam metal roof. You’ll get over 2,200 square feet of finished living space, split between a two-bedroom owner-occupied and a two-bedroom unit. The downstairs unit already generates steady rental income with a clean, open rental option. Seller has done many things over the years, including replacing windows, doors, water tank, removal of trees, bringing in fill to level the back yard, installing a marble backsplash upstairs, removing bricks from the wall, blown in insulation, connecting to the town sewer, renovating the downstairs kitchen, pouring cement floor in the basement, and building the garage. The true highlight, though, is the 1080SF oversized, heated two-car garage with 12' ceilings; ideal for contractors and car enthusiasts alike. The garage includes a professional-grade lift gate, making it perfect for heavy-duty projects, equipment storage, or a full-blown restoration setup. This is the kind of space that rarely comes up in a residential listing, offering unmatched flexibility for work or play. This property sits on a roomy 0.63-acre lot, with plenty of space for parking work trucks, trailers, or multiple cars without crowding. The business district zoning and prime visibility make it a fantastic fit for contractors who want to combine their trade with a smart investment. You’ll appreciate the lower taxes of St. Albans Town, and you’re only minutes from all the amenities in St. Albans City. The large yard, heated garage with 12' ceilings, and move-in ready living spaces combine to create a unique opportunity for anyone who wants their home to double as a workspace. If you’re a car lover or a contractor searching for something special, this property checks all the boxes.
