If you appreciate the beauty, charm, and character of an older home, one with a history tied to the mining of Potsdam Sandstone from the local quarries, the Scheller House, as it was known in 1925, is a must see. This beautiful Potsdam Sandstone, two story, Dutch Colonial home is situated on a double lot (1.1 acre) just a short walking distance to all downtown Potsdam has to offer. You enter this lovely home into a central foyer with formal dining room on the left and living room with wood burning fireplace to the right. Off the south side of the living room, you can spend your days/nights in a four-season wall to wall window sunroom, which can be closed off with a double set of French doors. All the rooms are flooded with natural light through modern, insulated windows throughout the home. A large, galley style kitchen sits to the back of the home with access to a small back porch that leads to the oversized back yard and sandstone garden/patio. Picture sitting just minutes from downtown, but inside your own garden oasis surrounded by large trees and your choice of landscaping. The oversized lot has so much potential for gardening, recreation, or just quiet reflection from a lovely patio lounger. Back inside the home, the second story offers three bedrooms (potential for a 4th) and a full bathroom. The master bedroom has a lovely sitting room with its own doorway. This room could remain as a sitting room, used as a nursery, or closed off to give the fourth bedroom. Majority of the flooring is original oak hardwood in well-maintained condition. The kitchen is vinyl tile, sunroom is ceramic tile and the master bedroom and sitting room have carpet. There is a walk-up attic (also wood flooring), that has the potential for an at home office, recreation room, extra bedroom, children's play room, etc.. The ceiling height is decent, thanks to the Gambrel roof, and double vintage windows on each end of the home bring in the natural light. Detached two-car garage sits at end of paved driveway on the left side of the home facing away from the street. Do not miss out on your chance to see this home. Everything from original hardwood floors, high ceilings, crown molding, built-in cabinet, original window and floor moldings make this a very special home.
