70 Mill St, Elsah, IL 62028

Welcome to the Reed-Creswell House, an enchanting stone and brick cottage built in 1855 and lovingly restored for modern living. Tucked in the storybook village of Elsah, this home is pure charm from the inside out. The grounds feel straight from Europe—complete with a wood picket fence, raised garden beds, an herb garden, and a custom fire pit with wood bench, the perfect spot for starry evenings with friends. Just beyond, a historic barn offers space to carry the party indoors. Inside, sunlight fills the renovated kitchen and cozy living room with fireplace. Two inviting bedrooms include one with its own fireplace, making it a retreat in every season. Rare for Elsah, this cottage also offers main-floor laundry, a neat basement with new sump pump, and a detached garage. With a new roof (2024) and functional windows, it’s ready for years to come. All this, in a vibrant community with an award-winning restaurant, organic farm, and lively events just minutes away.
