Inside A Cheery 7-Bedroom Amish Home (24 Photos)

This is a pleasant Amish home in upstate New York. It’s got seven bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Right off the bat that tells you it’s not the plainest Amish group.

And while that bedroom-to-bathroom ratio may seem high for a non-Amish home, for the Amish it’s about par for the course.

The home address is Fillmore, NY. The Amish have lived here since the 1980s (Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties) and the community is several hundred people in size.

This home has a cozy and cheery interior. It was built in 1890, so there have been a number of non-Amish inhabitants before Amish families would have ever lived here. Some of that is reflected in design elements of the home, which overall has a very “Amish” look.

Let’s check out the description then have a closer look inside, From Zillow:

This one-of-a-kind property offers endless possibilities for homesteading, farming, or simply enjoying country living at its finest. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity!

Let’s have a look first at the kitchen.

Kitchen

Here’s a long, simple and inviting kitchen. You can see two openings into the main living space – one behind the stove, and a large “window” of sorts near the kitchen table. This openness typical to Amish homes helps to distribute light and heat.

I think I’ve mentioned here before the bench seat is usually for the smaller children to squeeze in. The benches are similar to those used in church but shorter.

Walk-in pantry with a look typical to those in many Amish homes.

Living Room

I don’t know that “living room” is the best description for these large open family gathering spaces in Amish homes, but I use it often enough. I guess “family room” would also work. A light would be hung from the hook with the circular metal heat shield you see over the sofas.

Interesting outlet for the wood stove.

A view from another angle. Sheets on the furniture protects it, especially if someone’s been outside working and feels the need for an after-dinner nap.

Here’s an entry room space. Note the headlamps hanging on the left. Very handy when you need to go out in the evening and take care of something, and common with many Amish.

Downstairs bathroom.

Bedrooms

Let’s have a look at some of the seven bedrooms. Typically in Amish homes, most are upstairs.

As mentioned, some of the styling and layout seen in these photos indicate the home is not originally Amish. For example, this bedroom. Note the wavy pattern decorative element over the closet as well as the ceiling and wall pattern.

Some of the remaining bedrooms. These would presumably be from the addition to the home, so don’t have the same styling as the above bedroom.

Nice plant hangers.

This one also has some nice plants. Is that an aloe plant?

Simple and typical look of Amish bedrooms, complete with hickory rocker. And maybe another aloe plant.

Here’s the upstairs bathroom.

And what looks likes a display or curio cabinet upstairs.

Other spaces

Here’s the wash room area. Basic and functional.

Canned goods storage in the basement. Looks like some boxes of apples waiting to be processed. Maybe apple butter, or applesauce? Looks like there is a refrigerator down here too. I didn’t see one upstairs.

A view inside the workshop. Looks like this family makes at least a partial living by furniture making. I see an outdoor Adirondack-style rocker.

Overall a nice and livable property. So what’s the price of this 2,401-square-foot home with various additional buildings on 14+ acres of land?

It’s currently available at $294,900, represented by Amanda Pikul of eXp Realty.
