About this home
Some houses have history. This one has stories. Once a historic stopping place between St. Jean, Quebec and Burlington, the circa 1823 Samuel Mott Jr. Stone House was built as a Tavern Inn, welcoming travelers along this early route and fondly known as the “Halfway House.” This remarkable stone Center Hall Colonial offers nearly 3,700 finished sq. ft., 6 bedrooms including a rare first floor bedroom, 2 full baths with one currently unfinished, a full 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, exterior walls nearly 30" thick, deep window sills, 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 second floor ballroom remains one of the home’s most distinctive spaces and 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 once performed in the first floor Great Room, where the home’s original piano remains to this day. Other local lore includes a Prohibition era Al Capone connection, adding to the intrigue of this 200 year old home. Today, the property presents a significant whole house restoration opportunity. Recent 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.
