About this home
Welcome to Elm & Easel — a distinguished Late Federal-style townhouse accented by a graceful Colonial Revival porch, built in 1845 and cherished by artists for more than half a century. Standing proudly on a corner lot in the heart of Ballston Spa’s historic district, this residence offers the quiet beauty of a classic home blended with the vibrant rhythm of village life.
Stroll to cafés, galleries, and boutiques along tree-lined streets, or simply savor the architectural character of one of New York’s most charming small towns. Life here means morning walks for coffee, afternoons exploring antique shops, and evenings on your wide front porch, a timeless space for 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 that reflect the elegance of the 19th century. Both the family room and living room feature wood-burning fireplaces, creating warm, inviting spaces for gatherings or quiet evenings.
The kitchen is the true centerpiece — a chef’s delight outfitted with a Vulcan-Hart 6-burner gas restaurant range beneath a custom black hood, complemented by a large island with stainless sink and under-cabinet lighting for modern function. Across from the range, floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving adds both rustic charm and historic character, balancing the kitchen’s contemporary upgrades with its timeless soul. A pantry with laundry facilities adds clever convenience while preserving the home’s historic flow.
Also on the main level, a versatile space functions as a first-floor office or optional bedroom, complete with a full bathroom, ideal for those seeking a main-level bedroom option. From the kitchen, step out onto the back porch, where mornings bring the quiet company of songbirds and evenings invite visits from neighborhood wildlife; a peaceful retreat just steps from the heart of the village.
Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and an office with walk-up attic access and deep closets in most rooms. One bedroom features its own fireplace, adding charm and warmth, while the primary suite includes an ensuite with a classic clawfoot tub. A second full bathroom has been updated with a stand-up shower and built-in storage, blending modern convenience with historic character.
Thoughtful restorations, from repointed chimneys and brickwork to fresh exterior paint, a renewed driveway, and reinforced foundation, ensure this nearly 180-year-old home endures for generations to come. Accessibility upgrades, including a vertical platform lift in the garage, a front door ramp, and a stair lift off the kitchen, make the home welcoming to all.
Adding to its appeal, Elm & Easel is exceptionally well-situated: just 15 minutes to the Saratoga Springs Amtrak station (with direct service to New York City), 3 hours by car to Manhattan for those seeking a historic village retreat with quick city access. More than an address — it is a piece of Ballston Spa’s story, a canvas of history and art, and a rare opportunity to live where heritage and village life meet
