Property Description
Welcome to The Lilac Inn at the Joshua House, a beautifully restored historic stone home located on Main Street in the charming Village of Waddington, just steps from the St. Lawrence River. This remarkable property is truly a showstopper, offering the rare combination of historic character, extensive modern updates, and exceptional versatility. Purchased three years ago with a vision of bringing this historic property back to life, the home has undergone an extensive transformation while carefully preserving its original character and architectural charm. Today, it operates as The Lilac Inn, with the property currently offered through Airbnb and Expedia as a vacation rental while also serving as the seller''s family home. For those interested in hospitality or investment opportunities, much of the groundwork has already been completed. The property features a new commercial kitchen designed to accommodate both everyday living and special dinner gatherings. Spacious dining and gathering areas, along with multiple outdoor decks and covered sitting areas, provide wonderful possibilities for intimate events and entertaining. One deck features a covered gazebo complete with lighting and comfortable seating, creating an inviting outdoor gathering space. The spacious yard offers plenty of room for gardens, pets, recreation, or future possibilities. Prefer a private residence? This extraordinary property transitions beautifully into a distinctive family home where you can enjoy small-town living just moments from the St. Lawrence River and village amenities. When purchased, the property had virtually no functioning systems in place. The seller has undertaken an extensive renovation, adding and updating heating, plumbing, electrical, kitchen facilities, windows, interior finishes, paint, and more, creating the comfort and functionality of a modern home while retaining the character that makes this property so special. Enter from the covered side porch into a welcoming foyer with a convenient half bath. Toward the rear of the home is the thoughtfully designed kitchen and adjoining pantry. Original cherry pocket doors throughout the first floor allow the dining, living, and kitchen spaces to be separated when desired. The impressive dining room offers generous space for entertaining and features beautiful exposed stone surrounding the windows—a striking reminder of the home''s early craftsmanship. The adjoining living room features large built-ins and provides a comfortable gathering place for guests or family. The grand front entrance showcases a beautiful original wood staircase leading to the second floor, where you will find four spacious bedrooms filled with natural light. One bedroom is currently used as private living quarters when guests occupy the inn and includes an all-in-one washer/dryer. The second floor also features a newly completed full bathroom and an additional half bath. Whether you envision continuing the property''s hospitality use, creating a special-event or vacation-rental destination, or simply calling this remarkable historic property home, The Lilac Inn offers an opportunity unlike anything else in the area. Enjoy village living just steps from the St. Lawrence River, with convenient access to neighboring communities and the Canadian border. Located in the Madrid-Waddington Central School District.
