About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to historic Elsah! This charming 2 bed, 1 bath stone-front cottage sits on a large double lot across from the park and just a short walk to the post office. Built in the 1850s by the McNair brothers, this home blends rich history with cozy comfort. The spacious lot includes a garage with electricity, slab floor, metal roof, and a working antique safe. Inside, enjoy spray foam insulation under the floors for winter warmth and an attic fan for summer cooling. Flowering trees bring the yard to life each spring, and residents enjoy access to nearby Principia College events. Recent updates: new roof with ridge vent (2024), interior paint and exterior tuckpointing (2025), new fridge (2023), and insulated floors and pipes (2017). Enjoy peaceful river views without flood concerns and one of the region’s most scenic commutes along the River Road. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Elsah’s story!
