This elegant Victorian house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It sits within the 1100 acres of Elka Park Club, so you’ll have access to facilities including a communal swimming pool and tennis courts. It boasts 7 private acres of wildflower fields and wooded hillsides, so you can get your fill of the Great Outdoors. We love the porches at the front and back of the house, and the grand piano – cocktail hour is oh-so-elegant here.
