Nice large home, quirky decor, and under $1M. What more could you ask for? This 1920 house is a large Tudor style in Amsterdam, New York. It has 7bd. 5.5ba. $875K.
Impressive entrance hall. Notice the baby barrier protecting the carousel horse. (Like that’s going to protect it.) They’ve got hundreds of dollars worth of carpeting protecting the wood flooring.
To the left is a very large sitting room.
Clearly, this home has been on the market since Xmas. That’s not a good sign- they should really put up some new pics.
I love wood, but I don’t know if it’s the style, the finish, or the photo filter that makes it look unappealing.
Directly straight ahead in the entrance hall is the kitchen to left and behind lacy wrought iron gates is the dining room.
Closeup detail of the gates looking out from the dining room to the entrance hall.
This kitchen is interesting. Look at the red cabinetry that’s accented by, what I think is, wallpaper, but it could be fabric. It has seriously professional appliances plus what looks like a custom made island.
My mom’s a decorator and one thing I learned was to never put furniture only around the perimeter of the room. You have to “float” some of it, otherwise there’s a nothing but a big expanse of empty floor in the middle.
This is a nice sunporch- look at the brick and stone. Has a bit of an industrial vibe with a great view of the garden.
Large landing on the 2nd fl. that houses the bds. and baths. Notice the stained glass window on the stairs.
The main bd. has lovely fireplace.
One of the baths.
This is a nice bd.
A vintage bath with a claw foot tub.
A child’s room with display shelving.
The nursery has access to one of the baths.
They have the basement set up as a game/play room.
Looks like the family exercises together.
There’s a lot of property included- 11.6 acres.

Betcha didn't know these trinkets once were treasures. A once popular toy enjoyed by those born in the 1900's, survived the test of time as a toy for fidgeting, ornamental piece, and fashion accessory.
It's difficult to find 100% handmade versions of these quirky multi-functional toys in 2023. Luckily, I've spent the last half decade crafting these to keep this traditional handmade piece alive. Nothing beats handmade in my opinion!
I craft these in 100's of colours (including custom requests), and my reviews showcase how customers have discovered uses for this in their own personal way.
