"Old houses, I thought, do not belong to people ever, not really, people belong to them." - Gladys Taber. Built in the 1850s and standing proudly along the Mississippi River, this iconic stone home is a rare blend of local history and modern craftsmanship. With 100 feet of owned waterfront, panoramic views of the historic bridge, and walkable access to downtown, it offers both natural serenity and urban charm. Painstakingly restored between 20102012, the home retains its soul while offering every contemporary comfort. The heart of the house is the chefs kitchen - designed for gatherings - with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, double wall ovens, gas cooktop, warming drawer, and an oversized island that invites conversation. The formal dining room exudes elegance, while the living room bathes in sunlight and frames the river like art with loads of windows surrounding the space. The cozy family room, anchored by a gas fireplace, feels like a warm embrace. Upstairs, the primary suite is unforgettable - expansive, full of character, with a walk-in closet and spa-like ensuite. Two additional bedrooms, one with cheater access to the second full bath, plus a cute loft space complete the upper level. The fully finished walkout basement surprises with a wet bar, rich wood beams, and ample storage. Outside, a 24x24 detached garage with attic storage and a second driveway means there's space for all your toys - RV, boat, or extra vehicles. This is more than a home - it's a legacy. (id:19004)
