32 Elm St, Potsdam, NY 13676

Prominently positioned at 32 Elm Street in the heart of Potsdam, this substantial property offers an unusual combination of architectural character, income potential and flexibility. Equally suited to residential or professional use, the main house offers approximately 2,864 square feet, with generous rooms, high ceilings, original moldings and doors, two staircases and a covered porch. Previously used as a student rental and now vacant, the first floor includes two adjoining living rooms, a kitchen, laundry and half bath, with four to five bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The layout works well as a primary residence while also offering the space and configuration for offices, professional services or a live/work arrangement. An attached rear apartment provides the added benefit of existing rental income. Approximately 1,000 square feet, the apartment is currently rented and has its own private entrance with no interior access to the main house. Completely renovated to the studs in 1995, it features in-floor heat, updated plumbing and electrical, a full bath on the first floor and two bedrooms upstairs. Beyond the apartment renovation, improvements to the property include a high-efficiency natural gas furnace, updated electrical with added circuitry, replacement windows and a fire suppression system. The location further supports commercial possibilities with 217 feet of combined frontage along Elm Street/NY-11B, Lawrence Avenue/US-11 and Leroy Street, the prominent corner setting offers excellent visibility and convenient access, along with a wraparound paved drive and ample off-street parking. Whether envisioned as a residence with rental income, an investment property, business location or a combination of uses, 32 Elm Street offers uncommon flexibility in a central Potsdam location.
