A rare chapter of Plattsburgh’s architectural heritage is now available for purchase at 22 Macomb St, a distinguished residence tucked within the coveted Point Historic District.
Today, this imposing landmark operates as a seven-unit income-producing property, bringing together an expansive owner’s residence, three established long-term apartments, and three Airbnb accommodations. All seven units are currently occupied, creating an opportunity for immediate income within a property steeped in nearly two centuries of local history.
The story of the house reaches back to circa 1815, when it was known as the Lowell, or Bowen, House. In 1868, Shepard Bowen undertook an extensive reconstruction, giving the residence much of the grandeur associated with its present-day French Second Empire character.
Yet the property’s most intriguing detail may be found in a distinctive wing known as “The Chapel.” Within this unusual space are rare murals attributed to celebrated American artist William Morris Hunt, lending the residence an artistic dimension that is difficult to encounter in an ordinary investment property.
Its commanding architecture gives the property an unmistakable presence from the street, while its location places downtown Plattsburgh, Lake Champlain, restaurants, shops, and local attractions within easy reach.
For buyers seeking a property that intertwines historic architecture with multiple income streams, 22 Macomb St presents several possible avenues—whether retained as an income-producing residence, occupied by the owner while generating rental revenue, or preserved as a singular piece of Plattsburgh’s built heritage.
Showings are available to qualified buyers after receipt of a pre-qualification letter or proof of funds.
Some houses are simply old. Others carry a story. 22 Macomb St carries both history and an operating income model under the same roof.
