Step back in time and discover the timeless charm of this grand turn-of-the-century home, rich with historic character. Just across the street from the mighty Mississippi River, this four-bedroom, two-bath home offers a wonderful blend of historic elegance, spacious kitchen, formal dining room and great views of the river. A large, welcoming foyer sets the tone in the front of the home, leading to original hardwood floors, stained-glass and leaded-glass windows, and a built-in buffet. A gas fireplace in the dining room adds warmth and ambiance, creating a special setting for gatherings. The possibilities continue upstairs with 4 bedrooms,...read more a rear covered porch, and an updated bathroom. There is also a walk-up attic offering the potential to create additional finished living space, a studio, hobby room, or whatever your imagination inspires. The basement features waterproofing, a shower, and additional space for storage. Outside, enjoy the covered front porch with more great river views, attached workshop, a stamped-concrete patio, a fenced yard, a charming stone shed, and a detached two-car garage. With the Mississippi River just across the street, the setting offers a special connection to the rivers beauty and ever-changing scenery without being directly riverfront. Other conveniences are access to downtown, the library, Great River Bike Path, pickleball courts, restaurants, concerts, and boat dock access. Filled with character and craftsmanship, homes like this are more than just places to live-they are pieces of history, with stories waiting for their next chapter.
