About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to 508 W Main Street! Come for the front porch, stay for the... well... everything actually! So much care has been put into this home to maintain the original character while updating it for modern living and efficiency. The main floor features gorgeous hardwood floors along with the coordinating woodwork and built-ins in the living and dining room. The kitchen has plenty of cupboard and work space and includes a breakfast nook that lets tons of natural light in. The main floor is completed with a home office/library that steps right out onto the back deck. On the second floor you will find two bedrooms, a full bath, another cozy spot for a guest bed or reading nook, and access to the upper back porch. Swinging in the hammock up here gives you views of downtown, Vesterheim's new building, and the scenic bluffs of the Upper Iowa River. If you haven't found enough spaces to enjoy yet, there is still the well landscaped back yard with a two-stall garage and a large family room/den in the basement. The lower level also has plenty of room for storage and includes multiple work spaces. This home truly has it all! Call an agent to schedule your showing today!
