About This Home
As of September 2024An abundance of elegance and historic charm abound in this 1938 beauty, situated on nearly half an acre. You'll be amazed with the unexpected spaces that flow throughout this home. The main floor has all new white oak floors with the upper level maintaining the authenticity of the original hardwoods. A lovely flagstone patio greets you at the front entry providing a space for coffee or relaxing with sounds of nature . As you step into the vestibule, enjoy the authentic lighting and hardware that has been preserved accenting the character a home of this era provides. From the vestibule you'll have a full view of the dining room, living room and the open staircase leading upstairs. The spacious living room centers around a wood burning fireplace that leads to an unexpected east facing den/library/office. From here you ener the rooftop deck which gives you all the 'feels' ' of your private sanctuary for dinner, entertaining or relaxing in your private tree house. The spacious sun-filled kitchen has been updated with new quartz counters, coffee bar space, new appliances and a charming breakfast nook that overlooks the back gardens, nature and an occasional appearance from twin fawns. Enjoy the exterior entry/exit from the kitchen that flows to the lower level patio. Upstairs you'll find a primary bedroom with wall molding, authentic closets and a separate library/office/den that overlooks nature! 2 additional bedrooms, storage and a full bath complete the upper level. In the lower level you'll find the laundry/mechanical room, large walk-in pantry/wine cellar and a rec room with a wood burning fireplace, 4th bedroom and full bath. A separate wood shop with an exterior door is a dream room. Spacious enough to hold a wood worker's equipment or convert to a greenhouse. Situated on nearly half an acre, maintained mature trees, perennial gardens, a potting table and an exterior entrance to the garage makes this an incredible property located just a few blocks from the Iowa State campus. Surrounded by an elegant, historical neighborhood it's a must to see!
