The original stagecoach stop in Alburgh, this c. 1823 Stone Center Hall Colonial in Random Rubble Masonry is beautiful and has real presence in its stature. The home has been renovated but more is needed. The first floor has two entries, one in the kitchen and one in the “piano room”. The kitchen is huge and gracious, with a large island, deep framed windows and a great wood stove that adds warmth and coziness. Off the kitchen is a large bedroom and a huge room featuring a c. 1824 piano! A full bath and a small bedroom complete the first floor. The second floor has 3 bedrooms (being renovated) and a full bath. Unique to this property is the 2nd floor ballroom with its high ceilings where one can imagine travelers of days gone by enjoying a waltz or two on the dance floor. The home is enhanced by large deep-set windows, wide board pumpkin pine floors and 30-inch thick walls throughout. The stone-lined full basement with high ceilings is suitable for storage etc. The metal roof is in good condition. From the second floor is a walk-up attic. Not all rooms are photographed. Buyers will have first option to purchase the lakefront lot with 50 feet of beautiful westerly frontage.
