4 Bedroom House in Potsdam
Welcome to our fully remodeled four-bedroom 2600 square-foot historic Scheller House. We have completely remolded (August 2022) this property in a mid-century modern theme. The Scheller House is full of its original 100 year old charm along with all the new furnishings and updates. Its extremely well constructed with roughly two foot thick hand cut Asher style sandstone walls, high ceilings and large rooms! We are located just 2 blocks from SUNY Postdam and the downtown restaurants and shops, Potsdam Hospital is just over a half mile and roughly 1 mile from Clarkson University and a block from old Snell.
We are a 5 star property by an external rating source. Send us a message if you would like to learn more about our rating.
The Scheller House is located on a 1.1 acre, double lot in downtown Potsdam. The house sits off the road with a beautiful front yard featuring the original century old front path and manicured lawn. Behind the house you will find an oversized backyard with a new large patio. The patio features a large outdoor dining table and lounge chairs. A new large fire pit/sitting area with ample room around for 10 to 12 people easily is connected short walk away. There is also a swing set located just off of the patio. This outdoor area had to be completely remodeled. We tried to save the original back patio, but it was in too much disrepair to be saved.
As with the outside of the house the inside has been fully renovated and restored to the housesโ original beauty and stature. We decorated with all new furnishings including new beds, mattresses and appliances. On the first floor you will find a fully renovated kitchen, half bathroom with a hand painted ceiling, formal dining room, beautiful living room with fireplace and a bright four-season sunroom. There are four sets of French doors located on this level that allow privacy in whatever room you choose. The new kitchen has updated walls, cabinets, lighting, flooring and high-end appliances. We have repaired and repainted every wall in the house and restored the elegant original one inch hardwood floors.
On the second floor you will find four bright and spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. Three of the rooms each have one queen bed and the fourth bedroom has a bunkbed with a trundle. The upstairs is mostly new carpet with one original hardwood bedroom floor. All of the bedrooms have multiple windows which allows for ample natural light.
Our vision with the Sheller House was to restore it to its original beauty and splendor and now maintain it this way. The house had suffered decades of neglect and we felt our mission was to bring it back to the elegant home it once was. We feel that we have completed our mission and now we will continue to keep it that way.

We apologize but there is no smoking or partyโs in the house.
Here is the historical write up located on the Potsdam museum website. The Scheller House is one of only a few sandstone houses left standing in Potsdam.
The house at 73 Elm Street is also known as the Carl P. Scheller Home. Carl P. Scheller drew up his own blue prints for his home and then hired Frank Ditano to be the stone mason. Frank Ditano was well known as a stone mason in both this country and abroad. He and some of his sons, especially Angelo, did a lot of masonry work in Potsdam and the local area.
The sandstone was chosen by Frank Ditano; the stone apparently came from a demolished home in Hannawa Falls. Ditano selected the stone and then re-cut by hand and shaped it. The home was the only residential building built of Potsdam Sandstone during the Industrial-Era of usage of the stone (1868-1934). The house is in the Dutch Colonial Revival style and the masonry stone work is rusticated ashlar. Dutch Colonial Revival features include the gambrel roofs with curved or flared eaves along the entire length of the home, which can be seen on the Scheller home.
