8013 VT Route 17

About this home

For decades, The Bridge Restaurant has been a familiar Addison landmark, serving generations of local residents and travelers from its highly visible location near Lake Champlain, Historic Chimney Point, and the Lake Champlain Bridge connecting Vermont and New York. Now offered with an adjoining residence, this unique property presents an outstanding opportunity for an owner-operator, investor, entrepreneur, or developer seeking an established commercial property with flexibility and multiple potential revenue streams. Positioned at the crossroads of Vermont Routes 17 and 125, the property benefits from excellent visibility and exposure to local traffic, commuters, visitors exploring the Lake Champlain region, travelers crossing between Vermont and New York, cyclists, anglers, and four-season tourism. The restaurant building offers the foundation for numerous commercial possibilities. Continue its long history as a restaurant or reinvent the property as a brewery or taproom, bakery/café, farm-to-table concept, specialty food business, catering operation, event venue, retail destination, or other creative commercial venture. The included residence next door significantly expands the property's investment potential and versatility. An owner-operator can live just steps from the business, while an investor may choose to utilize the home as a long-term rental, employee housing, or potentially a short-term rental, subject to applicable permitting and regulations. The combination creates an unusual opportunity to generate both commercial and residential income from one property. With an established location, excellent road exposure, two distinct buildings, residential flexibility, and decades of history and name recognition, The Bridge offers a compelling foundation for its next owner. Operate the existing business, lease the spaces, introduce a new concept, or reposition the property around your own vision. The infrastructure, location, and opportunity are already here.
