Description

Step into a rare piece of Iowa history with this stately Union Park residence, originally built by a British sea captain and once serving as the former Governor's home. Perfectly blending historic charm with thoughtful updates, this home offers over a century of character paired with modern-day comfort. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a spacious formal dining room and a grand living room anchored by a warm, inviting fireplace. The sunroom, drenched in natural light, provides serene views of the meticulously landscaped gardens - an ideal spot for morning coffee or afternoon reading. The updated kitchen offers both functionality and style, marrying contemporary finishes with the home's timeless architecture. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including one with a private rooftop balcony overlooking the lush gardens. A convenient second-floor laundry room adds everyday practicality.

The finished basement boasts abundant storage, a second laundry room, and a cozy family room, creating even more space to relax and entertain. Outdoors, the tranquility continues with stone water features, thoughtfully designed landscaping, a three-car garage, and a large storage shed - all set within a peaceful, garden-inspired environment.
