About This Home

Private Forest Retreat with Instant Equity Potential in Dubuque! Escape to your own magical, light-dappled sanctuary right in the heart of Dubuque. Tucked away on a tranquil lot at 850 Kane Street, this unique 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath home offers unmatched seasonal privacy—transforming into a completely secluded forest haven during the lush summer and vibrant autumn months. Step inside to a wood-floored foyer. Begin to take in the interesting floor plan, including a cozy living room, expansive family room featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, warm wood accents, durable luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring, and a cozy gas fireplace built for brisk Iowa evenings. The functional layout flows seamlessly into an eat-in kitchen, ideal for relaxed morning coffees and casual dining. Unwind or entertain on the generously-sized screened-in patio situated right off the living room and kitchen, offering sweeping views of your leafy surrounding canopy - but without the bugs! Outdoors, a charming front garden awaits your green thumb, complete with a dedicated feature space for a koi pond (currently non-operational, ready for re-imagining!).
