My goodness, it has been a long time since I've posted to this blog. I have big news --- after more than 10 years, we are leaving Belleve, Iowa, for another Iowa town, even more northerly than this one!
That means the Setzephandt House is on the market. Here is the listing http://associated-re.idxbroker.com/idx/details/listing/a654/144846/609-N-2nd-Street-Bellevue-IA-52031 You will love the mix of old and new within this historical house. From the striking exterior with its copper finial and wrap porch to the numerous bay windows, you can imagine the builder of this 1880s home carefully considered each detail. Inside, many original elements remain, such as the interior staircase and woodworking details. The house has been thoroughly updated where it counts, including plumbing and electrical systems, and central air conditioning. The spacious kitchen includes a Wolf cooktop with infrared red grill, a stainless-steel farm sink, quartz countertops, and custom cabinets. The backyard is inviting, with its concrete patio, and a powder-coated steel spiral staircase leading to a second story Trex deck with views of the Mississippi River.
