The Historic Elgin Cottrell home was built in 1845 by Hezekiah Elgin, a river-boat captain. This is Clarksville’s grandest home that has been restored impeccably by its current owner. Mississippi River views can be enjoyed from your double front porch. Your own perch for bald eagle watching. 3 Fireplaces grace the two parlors and the kitchen. Every room has been decorated with period wallpaper and window treatments. The home is a dream space for any antique enthusiast. You will appreciate that this home has new plumbing, hot water heaters, HVAC systems and electric service. The home and basement have had extensively tuck-pointing. The front and side porches have been completely rebuilt. Transforming this house into the showplace that it is now has been a true “labor of love” by the current owner. This is a rare buy and a treasure that you will adore. Recently featured in Victorian Homes, this home is being offered with the option of all contents being included.

Absolutely exquisite, the home, the furnishings, and the lovely people, not ghosts, that regularly visit the Elgin - Cottrell House in Clarkville, Missouri. I've been to the house for many occasions. Each visit I see something new. What an enchanting place to live. Marilyn Moss
