Welcome to Elm & Easel "” a distinguished Late Federal-style townhouse with a graceful Colonial Revival porch, built in 1845 and owned by artists for more than 50 years. Standing proudly on a corner lot in Ballston Spa's historic district, this residence blends timeless elegance with the vibrant rhythm of village life. Stroll to cafés, galleries, and boutiques along tree-lined streets, or enjoy evenings on your wide front porch watching the neighborhood pass by.
Inside, the home reveals its artistic soul: soaring ceilings, oversized windows, finely preserved millwork, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling gilded mirrors showcasing 19th-century grace. Both the family room and living room feature wood-burning fireplaces, creating warm, inviting spaces.
The kitchen is a chef's dream "” outfitted with a Vulcan-Hart 6-burner gas range beneath a custom black hood, complemented by a large island with stainless sink and built-in shelving that balances modern convenience with historic character. A main-level office or optional bedroom with full bath adds flexibility, while a rear porch invites peaceful moments surrounded by nature.
Upstairs, find four spacious bedrooms and an office with attic access. One bedroom boasts a fireplace, while the primary suite includes an ensuite with a clawfoot tub. A second full bath features a stand-up shower and built-in storage.
Recent restorations "” from repointed brickwork and fresh paint to a renewed driveway and reinforced foundation "” ensure this 180-year-old home endures for generations. Accessibility features include a vertical platform lift in the garage, a ramp, and a stair lift.
Ideally located, Elm & Easel is just 15 minutes to Saratoga Springs Amtrak (with direct NYC service), 3 hours to Manhattan, for those seeking a historic village retreat.
Elm & Easel is more than a home "” it's a piece of Ballston Spa's story, a canvas of history and art, and a rare chance to live where heritage and village life meet.
