Nestled high in the prestigious West 11th Street Historic District with a breathtaking view of Dubuque and the Mississippi River, 990 Grove Terrace is a true 1906 brick gem that has been meticulously cared for and loved over the years. From the moment you step up to the grand, oversized front doors, you are welcomed by the warmth of beautifully preserved original hardwood floors and classic wood trim that flows throughout the entire home. The thoughtful main-floor bedroom offers easy, convenient living, while two additional bedrooms upstairs provide plenty of room for family or guests. Outside, your front porch sits high above the city, serving up front-row seats to spectacular, unobstructed Eastern views of Dubuque. It is the perfect spot to sit back with a cup of coffee and watch the riverboats drift by, while the tiered lawn, private brick patio, and firepit offer a cozy setting for gathering with neighbors and friends on cool evenings. Beyond its timeless character, this home offers incredible versatility and peace of mind. While it serves wonderfully as a spacious single-family home, the upper level already features a wet bar that can effortlessly be converted into a full second kitchen—making it a breeze to divide into two separate living units for a lucrative long-term or vacation rental. Topped with a long-lasting rubber roof and featuring a full basement for all your storage needs, the property is built to last for generations to come. Seller has priced this property competitively! You are looking for a forever home steeped in local history or a unique investment opportunity with a Million-Dollar View, this Dubuque treasure is ready to welcome you home.
