About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to 508 W Main Street—a beautifully maintained home where historic charm, modern comfort, and excellent craftsmanship come together. From the inviting front porch to the thoughtfully updated interior, every detail reflects pride of ownership and quality workmanship. The main floor showcases stunning hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and original built-ins in the living and dining rooms, while the kitchen offers abundant cupboard and counter space, plus a sunny breakfast nook. A versatile home office or library opens directly to the back deck, a peaceful space that feels surprisingly private for being in the heart of Decorah. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bath, a cozy bonus space perfect for a reading nook or guest bed, and access to the upper back porch—ideal for relaxing in a hammock while taking in views of downtown, Vesterheim’s new building, and the scenic bluffs of the Upper Iowa River. The landscaped backyard includes a two-stall garage, and the lower level features a versatile room, generous storage, and multiple work areas. This thoughtfully crafted home truly has it all—schedule your showing today!
