    A rare opportunity in Decorah's desirable Broadway-Phelps Historic District, this beautifully restored 1893 Queen Anne Victorian offers historic charm, comprehensive restoration, and an exceptional location. Just blocks from downtown Decorah, the Vesterheim Museum, Phelps Park, and biking and walking trails, this home places you in the heart of one of Decorah's most cherished neighborhoods. Meticulously restored by the design/build team of Wadsworth-Johnson, the home showcases outstanding craftsmanship throughout. Original architectural details have been carefully preserved and paired with period-appropriate finishes, creating a seamless blend of historic character and modern comfort. The main living level beautifully captures the character and craftsmanship of the turn of the century. Original pocket doors, restored hardwood floors, and stunning original windows create a sense of warmth and timeless elegance throughout. The home's historic windows have been meticulously restored, preserving their architectural beauty while showcasing the extraordinary craftsmanship of the era. Flooding the rooms with natural light, they serve as both functional features and works of art, offering a level of detail and character rarely found in today's homes. The heart of the home is the beautifully designed cook's kitchen, thoughtfully created for both everyday living and entertaining. Quality finishes, abundant workspace, and careful attention to function make it a space that is as practical as it is inviting. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private ensuite bath. A fourth room offers exceptional flexibility and can serve as a home office, nursery, hobby room, guest space, or multipurpose room. With laundry conveniently located within the space, it easily adapts to a variety of needs and lifestyles. Additional highlights include a detached two-car garage, and two welcoming porches provide the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. To truly appreciate the remarkable transformation, a photo gallery documenting the home's extensive restoration and renovation is available at: https://tinyurl.com/512-Photos. This is more than a home. It's a thoughtfully restored piece of Decorah history, offering timeless architecture, modern livability, and a location that is truly hard to match.
