About this home
Step into the past while envisioning your future in this stunning circa-1860 historic building steeped in character and located in the vibrant heart of the Village of Delhi, the Delaware County seat. Originally the distinguished residence of James Elwood, a county treasurer and justice, this stately structure blends timeless architectural detail with versatile modern potential. Positioned prominently on Main Street with exceptional visibility, this nearly 4, 000-square-foot building offers two spacious floors plus attic areas, all set on a surveyed lot of just under half an acre with ample off-street parking. Located in a bustling college town, the property benefits from a steady flow of year-round activity, foot traffic, and community engagement, making it ideal for a variety of commercial, educational, or residential ventures. Business-zoned and connected to high-speed internet and municipal water & sewer, the property supports a wide variety of uses — from professional offices & studios to live/work arrangements, boutique retail, or unique housing opportunities. You’ll fall in love with the elegant period features throughout: intricate inlaid hardwood floors, ornate radiators, a gracious main staircase with a continuous banister rising to the attic, and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with natural light. Additional highlights include two fireplaces (not currently in use), a classic butler’s pantry, both front and back staircases, a vault, covered porches for quiet enjoyment or welcoming clients, and a charming balcony that adds even more character and a great spot to watch community parades! Currently configured with multiple offices with half bathrooms, the flexible layout, numerous entrances, and connecting doorways offer endless possibilities for customization — whether you envision a co-working hub, wellness center, legal or medical suites, or stylish apartments. Practical upgrades include a newer roof, accessibility ramp, and dual coal/oil furnace. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of local history and bring your vision to life in one of the Catskills’ most charming and walkable villages.
