Listing Description

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, 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 river's beauty and ever-changing scenery without being directly riverfront.
