The historic Foster Hilton, as it was once known, has been transformed into an amazing home complete with a rental income ! This property has been lovingly renovated while maintaining so much of the original charm. The main home is on two levels with three large bedrooms. Balconies on the front and back of the building are a lovely plus! The third level, with it's gorgeous wooden staircase, leads to a revenue-generating Airbnb. This rental is regularly booked and can provide a substantial cost savings for a new owner. However, it also could be easily converted into a single family home with very little effort!
Sale without legal warranty of quality, at the buyer's risk and peril.
Once upon a time, stories were told around these tables... Farmers would come at the end of long days to enjoy a cool drink. Stories were told, and perhaps a few lively songs were sung. The spirit of the community still exists within the walls of this magnificent building. And now it's the laughter of a family that lives here.
Step inside this charming home and you'll feel its warm embrace. The open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room are perfect for entertaining family and friends. The dining room opens onto the rear gallery and courtyard. The current owners have transformed this mythical place into a warm, cosy space ideal for gatherings. We're sure you'll love it as much as we do!
A TV room, an office, a large pantry, a laundry room and a large bathroom with bath and shower complete the second floor.
On the second floor are the 3 bedrooms, including a double ( 25'x 14' ) opening onto the rear gallery, which can easily be divided in two. At both ends, you'll find large 6'x 40' balconies typical of the spirit of the house. At the front, you have a view of the hamlet of Foster. To the rear, the magnificent garden with the railroad line in the distance (trains pass by about twice a day).
On the third floor, you'll find the most beautiful rental space! With warm wood accents and a large balcony. Guests will always feel welcome here. Located less than 5 minutes from Highway 10 and less than 30 minutes from several ski and hiking centers, you can be sure that this unit will be booked regularly, as it already is with an occupancy rate of 70.1% over the past year.
Foster, one of the seven villages that make up Lac-Brome, offers a wide range of services. Across the street, you'll find tennis and pickleball courts, a skating rink, a children's park and a community hall. The recreational trail is less than 50 meters away, giving you access to the lake and other nearby bike paths. When you buy this place, you're not just buying a wonderful home, you're also becoming the guardian of a piece of Eastern Townships history!
