32 Pierrepont ave. is a historic treasure in Potsdam. This home built circa 1860 by Seth Benson has been completely restored with all the modern updates. Seth Benson came to Potsdam with his wife, Sally in 1820. After establishing a farm on what is now called the back Hannawa road he purchased land in what is now the village of Potsdam and became a prominent business man. This house was his home until his death in 1881. The front walk comprised of original Potsdam Sandstone slabs lead to stunning sandstone steps. The foyer offers a grand stair case and access to both the formal dining room and the front living room (currently a music room) The first floor boasts hardwood floors that have been refinished, crown molding, plenty of windows for natural light and wall treatments custom done by a local artist. The kitchen is incredibly spacious with a gas cook top, wall oven and plenty of cabinets all with soft close drawers. The slate floor leads to a large "eat-in" area with a wall of windows. There is also a coat closet near the back door for added storage and a built in desk/office area. A full bath completes the down stairs. Do you have trouble with the stairs or just prefer not to have to climb them? This home is equipped with an elevator to take you to the second level with the push of a button! Upstairs in the master-wing you will find a spacious bedroom, large master bath with double-sinks, a walk in closet and several built-ins for additional storage. There are three additional nice sized bedrooms with ceiling to floor windows, crown moldings and wood floors throughout. An additional common bath finishes out the second level including a stack-able washer/dryer and a nice sized bathtub. As stunning as the interior of this home is, the outside is equally amazing! The most beautiful flower gardens, landscaping, and custom pergola awaits! The spacious deck can hold a large table and fire pit. The fully landscaped property has left no portion undone. There are hand built rock walls, perennials, even a beautiful secret garden with custom built pergola! Fully fenced and raised beds with paver stones throughout make this back yard a real show stopper. Finally, the paved driveway leads to an over sized 2 car carriage house that offers a completely new foundation and HUGE overhead storage. Nothing has been left undone in this home, all you need to do is move in! Pictures do not do it justice, call today for your private tour!
