Perched high on Mitchel’s Bluff on the edge of the Mississippi river valley, this architecturally unique late Victorian/early Craftsman home commands spectacular views -- from the park-like grounds of the historic Kahl mansion directly across the street to extended views of the Mississippi river from Centennial Park to the I-280 bridge -- and is just minutes to trails along the Mississippi River and all the amenities of downtown Davenport and Rock Island! The home encompasses four levels with 2200 square feet of finished space and another 2200 square feet of usable space in the mostly unfinished full basement and walk-up attic. Extensive restoration and renovation over the past thirty years have returned this house to its original glory. One enters the house from a grand front porch, with three solid stone columns, into an ornate airlock; within there is 3/4” solid red oak hardwood flooring throughout; 9.5’ ceilings on the first floor, 8.5’ on the second floor; 9.5” baseboards throughout (including the curved walls of the SW rooms). From the formal entrance hall, Italianate columns on knee walls on the east side lead into a large living room with eight large windows (three of those in the south bay) and a giant stone fireplace (with a LOPI stove insert) on the north end; to the west, the entry hall opens through massive pocket doors into a formal dining room/second living area, with very large windows on the south and west sides. The dining room connects to a remnant of the original butler’s pantry and the very large and completely renovated and updated kitchen, with custom cabinets and lighting and both quartz and granite countertops. A rear entry to the kitchen (with airlock) affords quick access to the 2.5 car garage. A grand staircase with five newel posts leads from the entry hall to the second floor, which has three bedrooms, including an owner’s wing on the west side that includes the large southwest bedroom (with curved walls and a small adjacent room), a full and completely renovated bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower, and a large laundry/walk-in closet. The home is heated from an efficient gas boiler with vintage hot water radiators (many ornate and all refinished); central AC was installed in 2022.
