Live in the Braddock Point Lighthouse - Historic Home on the Shores of Lake Ontario

The charming Victorian home in Hilton, NY, on the shores of Lake Ontario, dates to 1895 and features a fully functioning lighthouse.

A home on the shores of Lake Ontario comes with an illuminating amenity—its very own operating lighthouse. Built in 1895, the Braddock Point Lighthouse in Hilton, NY, is on the market for $996,000. In the century since it was built, the beacon has become somewhat more modern—trading out a oil-burning lamp in favor of an LED light. It’s a familiar sight to the folks who traverse the waters of the lake.

The lighthouse was deactivated in 1954 and was then reactivated in 1999. It’s also a bit shorter than it was back in the 1890s—structural damage forced the Coast Guard to remove the upper portions of the tower when they deactivated it.

A buyer will reap the benefits of the lighthouse, without much upkeep required. The agent told us the owner’s responsibility for operating the lighthouse is minimal. The attached brick home has three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and currently operates as a bed-and-breakfast.

In keeping with the Victorian design, there are several pocket doors and many other original details. A sunroom was added at one point over the years. The owner and operator of the bed-and-breakfast, Furbush says, have been living in the carriage house, which has two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchen, and living space.

All the mechanicals in the house are updated and operational. The property has 148 feet of waterfront on the lake, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the breakwater system along the shoreline.
