Lake Champlain views! How about that staircase! This brick landmark home was built in 1874. Known as the W. H. Stower House, it is located on 1.5 acres in Essex, New York. I love Second Empire style homes. This house has original hardwood floors, a grand staircase, wide baseboards and pocket doors. Beautiful solid doors throughout! There are original windows. The house does need brickwork done on the exterior and the owner has estimates from a mason. Just imagine this house restored with those amazing lake views! Six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 3,725 square feet. $219,000
