about this home

About this home

Step into a true piece of history with this one-of-a-kind farmhouse, beautifully nestled in the heart of downtown Iowa and regarded as one of the oldest homes in town. Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, this property offers charm you simply cannot recreate. Inside, you’ll find stunning original woodwork paired with all new hardwood flooring and upgraded bronze fixtures throughout. The kitchen is a showstopper featuring custom quartz countertops, open shelving, a Kraus stainless farmhouse sink, window herb garden, stainless refrigerator & dishwasher, and a 42” commercial-grade Thermador gas range perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious layout includes 3 bathrooms and a dedicated office/library, ideal for working from home. The oversized primary suite is a true retreat with custom woodwork, abundant storage, a walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and a striking 6-ft hand-hammered copper tub with nickel interior. Additional highlights include a corner gas fireplace, a custom hand-built staircase true to the home’s original design, and a stunning custom “Lilly” handrail crafted by local artisan blacksmith Joshua Guillory. The balcony was redone in 2014, adding to the home’s enduring appeal. Exterior features are just as impressive with a 3-car carport, full RV hookup (30 amp with water & sewer), raised garden beds, and a pen for ducks, chickens, or dogs. Enjoy peace of mind with upgraded siding, Low-E impact-resistant windows, ADT security system, Nest smart home features, and remote locks. The unfinished enclosed patio and laundry room (already plumbed for a potential second kitchen) offer incredible opportunity for expansion or customization. Property is being offered partially furnished at an additional price, including unique pieces such as a 1920’s Hoosier cabinet, china cabinet, and office desk perfectly complementing the home’s historic character. This is more than a home it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with modern convenience and endless potential.

Mrs. Lauren is an excellent agent! She answers quick and helped me sell my house that I thought I wasn't going to sell. She has helped me on two different houses — I really appreciate all of her help!
