Country life, city convenience, historic integrity, modern function, and efficiency. What else is there? Urban chickens? (Sure, at your own risk). This home has been meticulously restored and remodeled to suit a buyer who disdains the mediocrity that accompanies nearly every other home at this price point. This home is for the person who appreciates quality, intention, and genuinely wants a one-of-a-kind. Prime Location: Located immediately adjacent to Loras College, this home offers unbeatable convenience with an immensely private 1-acre lot. A rare oasis in the heart of Dubuque. Yes, it is on a hill—flat lovers beware. Features & Upgrades: -The entire home has been completely gutted to studs, and then some. - Completely rewired for modern safety and efficiency, we even buried the electrical service underground (no overhead wires here!) - All new energy-efficient windows throughout - New insulation in attic, walls, and 1-inch exterior insulation--incredibly energy efficient--cannot overstate this! - New furnace and water heater - Hickory ¾ inch hardwood floors throughout - 42-inch solid alder hardwood kitchen cabinets--from a cabinet maker, not a big box glue factory. These pair well with granite countertops. - Original 10-inch baseboards and restored 5-inch casing. A lot of paint was scraped. - Spacious 9-foot ceilings, original woodwork, doors, and stained glass - Large kitchen and formal dining area perfect for entertaining, - Detached garage/barn with space for two+ vehicles, tools, or a workshop. Yes, it has a 300 sf loft that could be turned into a suite. All new steel siding and garage doors with openers. -This remodel was NOT a cover-up operation; it was a true quality restoration and remodel. Things were done right. Outdoor Living: Enjoy nearly an acre of land. Trees, grasslands, natural wonders—all ideal for gardening, recreation, or future expansion. The lot offers exceptional privacy, making it feel like a secluded retreat while still being steps from campus and seconds from downtown and minutes from the West end. The Hosta wars are real as you confront more wildlife (deer, fox, rabbits, who all call the property home). If you are a dog person, but also believe that a dog should have a yard, a refuge, a place to run—then yes this would be the place for you. Easily rent the home for a premium rate due to quality and proximity to campus.
