This is your opportunity to own the Wanamaker House, a charming, historic home in the heart of Elsah. According to “Elsah: A Historic Guidebook” by Charles Hosmer and Paul Williams, this house is officially called the Onetto-Wanamaker House and was built by William G. Onetto. The Jersey County genealogy website says Mr. Onetto moved to Elsah in 1853 and was one of the earliest settlers. There were only three houses built in Elsah at that time. He was a blacksmith & engineer and built the house soon after his arrival. This wonderful home has the potential to have three bedrooms, although one is small and may be better suited for a office/nursery. The kitchen is open to the living room and has a brand new gas stove. The inside has been recently painted & has new carpet and pad. High efficiency furnace and 14 seer AC were NEW in 2013! There is also newer insulated duct work. 4-5 windows were recently replaced in the attic area. Age of roof not known.
