This home was built by my great-great-grandfather in 1849 and served as the North Bolton Methodist Church until 1973. Starting in 2009, I took it down to the rafters, floor joists (hand-hewn with bark still on them), and structural timbers...and essentially rebuilt it. New studs, drywall, insulation, thermopane windows, and basement waterproofing (lifetime warranty transfers to new owner) in 2009. New roof, plumbing, electrical, siding, carpet & appliances in 2010. Attic & basement insulation, washer/dryer, and handmade stairs (made by my uncle from a single tree) in 2011. I still have the original bell from the old steeple, the sign giving the time of services, and the pen-and-ink drawing done by my regionally-well-known-artist great-grandmother of the building circa 1900. Our family worked hard to create an Adirondack home from this structure while maintaining external historic integrity, right down to the 2 front doors (one for men & one for women) and the huge first-floor windows. Hardwood finish, bark-on limbs, peeled tree trunks, and deer antlers make the interior and Adirondack dream. The house is on a semi-fenced acre with vacant land to the south an east, bordered by a stream in the back that feeds into Lake George. Owning the propane tank allows it to be buried, giving just that much more lawn space. A large fire pit in the back is the perfect place to watch the sun go down over Federal Hill. Just 2 miles from Bolton's beach and ~20 miles from West Mountain & Gore Mountain, this is the ideal spot for anyone who loves the heart of the Adirondacks. 518-260-0245 (cell) 518-644-9479 (home) pigpigliveson@gmail.com
