Description

Welcome to 1245 Highland Place, an iconic, two-story historic home overlooking the Mississippi River and downtown Dubuque. The view is simply magnificent, and the blufftop location is only a short walk to restaurants, bars, the library, and the delightful Dubuque Farmers’ Market. Built in 1886, this red brick Italianate beauty hosts four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a double parlor, and a formal dining room with French doors. Handsome parquet hardwood, and richly colored mahogany floors are adorned by many original light fixtures in this Victorian era home. The fireplace in the front parlor as well as the pellet burner in the second parlor keep the living spaces cozy. The office walls are tastefully decorated with ornate lincrusta wallpaper, and it is conveniently equipped with two pocket doors. The kitchen features two ovens and a gas stove, as well as soapstone countertops, a newly-remodeled marble backsplash, and attractive new two tone paint on the cupboards. Additional modern amenities include a primary bedroom en suite and second floor laundry room. The home offers three porches: a wrap around porch with panoramic views, a large, screened-in side porch beside the kitchen, and a quaint porch off of one of the guest bedrooms. The outside of the house provides its own beauty with assorted perennials, including tulips, daffodils, roses, and peonies. And if you have a dog (or see one in your future!) you’re in luck because the lawn is invisible fence ready. This charming home and lovely yard are not all, however, as this house’s newer mechanicals, new furnace, two water heaters, spray foam basement walls, and two car, lofted garage afford both functionality and loads of storage space. If you are in love with homes that offer historical character combined with contemporary conveniences, you will want to cross the breathtaking threshold FYI: the home has a double parlor on the main. The first one is listed as the "living room" and the second as the "family room."
