Two beautifully hand-crafted Amish-made porches, a brand-new garage, and located just a mile from downtown on nearly an acre of land. An 1898 stately all-brick home sited on 0.8 acres of mature landscaping, including century-old Norway spruce trees and carefully cultivated garden areas. The historic Albert J. and Alice E. Borts House is a classic Queen Anne-style residence and an Iowa City landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NR #100003921). This heritage property has been artfully updated to honor its original craftsmanship and grandeur, while seamlessly incorporating modern touches, including a newly constructed two-car garage. The home's history includes notable past residents like Carl H. Klaus, the founder of the University of Iowa Nonfiction Writing Program. Inside, you'll find ornate molding, a grand staircase, a corner cupboard, a built-in armoire, and elegant wainscoting wood wall-paneling that bring character to every room. The main level features a living room, dining room, kitchen, and powder room, all of which open onto the lush garden grounds. The upper level includes three spacious bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a finished attic loft that offers additional living space. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to enhance the home’s heritage, with gardens, a screened porch, gazebo, terrace, and pavilion areas that create an idyllic setting for relaxation and entertaining. Architecturally perfected, this home stands as a testament to an era of fine craftsmanship, preserving its historic charm while offering modern conveniences.
