c.1880 Fixer Upper Price Increase to Under $80K ~ Former Vermont Train Station For Sale
October 21, 2023
OHU50K NOTES. $49,900 Price Increase to $79,900
This c.1880 fixer upper in Berkshire, Vermont (pop 1,692), is the old Sheldon, Vermont, train station. The train station was in operation for the St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Railroad Company. The home today is rather close to the road, but that is often the case in New England (makes it easier to dig out during the snowy season).
OHU50K first featured the home back in August 2020. No changes except the price went from $50K to $80K.
REALTOR COMMENTS
Very charming fixer upper home very close to Jay Peak Ski area. Has potential to add another floor of living space, a nice cute loft. Surrounded by farm land in the back that is in the land trust. Small stream is the border at the back. Lots of natural wildlife, bear, deer etc.
The building was originally a historic train station relocated from Sheldon. All the original wood flooring is still in tact.The house is being sold as is and the owner requests 15 days to move out of the house after closing .This home is cash only as it needs updates to pass for a mortgage.
What on earth prompted the owner to increase the price by $30,000? It’s very close to the road, only has a half acre of land, and needs lots of work. I’m an investor and I wouldn’t give them the original $50,000 that they wanted. Especially since there’s almost nothing of the old train station visible, except the floors.

I guess three years made the difference.
