The Minard House in Burnt Hills, Saratoga County, NY

Known as the Minard House, it appears to have been built about 1835-1840 and then updated over the years. The earliest deed found is in 1857. The first known owner, Benjamin Wakeman, died in 1851, and his estate sold it in 1857. Abel Minard bought it that same year for his widowed sister to live in and her family stayed for 68 years until 1925. Since 1925, it has only had 3 other longtime owners who have all left their mark on this wonderful old home in the Hamlet of Burnt Hills. This is a rare live/work opportunity with residential and Commercial zoning and where historic charm meets modern comfort. This is beautifully preserved and offers nearly 2,400 sq. ft. on a professionally landscaped ¾-acre lot–ideal for a charming home, professional office, boutique, studio, or premium work-from-home space. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 3 garage spaces, including a detached garage that once served as Minard Orcutt’s grain store, this one-of-a-kind property blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates. Historic highlights include three-brick-thick walls, a hand-hewn summer beam with bark still intact, Victorian stained-glass windows, an oak staircase, original fireplace mantel, custom built-ins, a Hoosier cabinet, recessed windows and doors, and an inviting front porch. A stunning 2012 addition complements the original home with soaring 15-foot ceilings, approximately 20 windows, abundant natural light, and a gas stove that is capable of heating the entire first floor. Modern amenities include granite countertops, central air, radiant heated floors, updated plumbing and electrical, remodeled baths, a heat pump, insulated attic, whole-house generator, and a beautifully landscaped yard with perennial gardens, mature roses, stamped concrete patio, expanded driveway with turnaround, and a newly installed epoxy flake garage floor (2026). Appearing on the 1856 Saratoga County map, this remarkable home has been lovingly cared for while preserving its rich heritage. Located in the award-winning Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake School District and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive property offering history, flexibility, and modern living.
