About This Home
Some houses have history. This one has stories.
Built circa 1823, this remarkable stone Center Hall Colonial offers nearly 3,700 finished sq. ft., 6 bedrooms ncluding a rare first-floor bedroom a full stone-lined basement, 1,848 sq. ft. walk-up attic, public water/sewer and 0.44 acres in Alburgh Village.
A significant whole-house restoration opportunity, the home retains extraordinary early-19th-century character: random-rubble stone masonry, nearly 30" exterior walls, deep window openings, wide-board pumpkin pine floors, multiple fireplaces and graciously scaled rooms.
Upstairs, five bedrooms and one bath are in the early, unfinished stages of renovation. The historic ballroom remains one of the home's most distinctive spaces.
And then there is the lore. Prior records identify the property as an early Alburgh stagecoach stop and describe a circa-1824 piano as original to the home. Local stories tell of Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind performing in the ballroom, an alleged Al Capone/Prohibition connection and a later chapter as a halfway house. Some stories live in local memory rather than documented history, adding to the intrigue of this 200-year-old home.
Recent updates include a propane water heater approx. 2 years old; refrigerator, washer/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.
Bring your vision and write the next chapter of 748 South Main Street.
Set in Vermont's Lake Champlain Islands, Alburgh offers a unique location approx. 30 minutes to St. Albans, an hour to Burlington and just over an hour to Montreal.
