About this home
NEW PRICE $265,000! Some houses have history. This one has stories. Once a stopping place between St. Jean, Quebec and Burlington, the circa 1823 Samuel Mott Jr. Stone House was built as a Tavern Inn, fondly known as the “Halfway House.” This historic stone Center Hall Colonial offers nearly 3,700 finished sq. ft., 6 bedrooms including a rare first floor bedroom, 2 full baths with one unfinished, a stone lined basement, 1,848 sq. ft. walk up attic, public water and sewer and 0.44 acres in Alburgh Village. More than two centuries later, its craftsmanship remains evident in random rubble stone masonry, nearly 30" thick exterior walls, deep window sills, wide board pumpkin pine floors and multiple fireplaces. Upstairs, five bedrooms and one bath are in the early stages of renovation. The historic second floor ballroom awaits restoration. An 1823 building contract called for a 44' x 42' stone house with two foot thick walls, seven fireplaces, an oven and four chimney tops. Historical tradition tells that celebrated Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind performed in the first floor Great Room, where the original piano remains today. Local lore includes a Prohibition era Al Capone connection. This property presents a restoration opportunity. Updates include a propane water heater approx. 2 years old, refrigerator and washer and dryer approx. 4 years old, new dishwasher awaiting installation and living room fireplace chimney lined in 2023. Offered AS IS, WHERE IS. Property condition may limit conventional financing. Cash or rehab financing may be most appropriate. Buyers to conduct due diligence. Nearby Lake Champlain access includes Dillenbeck Bay, 4.8 miles away, and Alburgh Dunes State Park, 7.6 miles away. New price reflects a motivated seller who is ready to work with the right buyer to begin this home's next chapter....
