Elwell's Mill
Homstead....Built in l835 by F.A. Elwell, the
mill was among the first gristmills in Otsego County. The
main house, of Greek Revival style, features 9 rooms.
Upon entering through the Dutch door of the spacious
foyer, you will begin to smile, taking in the lovely
features and charming ambiance of this early home. The
custom, vintage style, screen door shows the meticulous
care the current owners have taken to maintain the
historic quality of this property. The country kitchen,
measuring 30x13, featurees stenciled hardwood floor, tile
countertops, woodburning stove and a Dutch door. The
formal dining room (18x12) is the perfect place for large
family meals. This room features hardwood floors and a
pretty decorative chair rail. A handsome woodburning
fireplace and historic mantle is the focal point for the
23x15 formal living room. The cozy den is the perfect
space for curling up with a good book, or since there is
an attached half bath, this room could function as a
first level bedroom. Completing the first level is a
laundry room with an additional half bath. The second
floor provides three spacious bedrooms and a full bath
with clawfoot tub and shower. All systems have been
recently updated and include a full-house 7500 watt gas
