About this property

Historic home near lake, parks, shopping and BVU! Perfect for the holidays!

Historic home with all the modern amenities!

As you enter the house for the1st time, you'll be amazed at the stunning kitchen! The kitchen includes a large center island, double ovens, wine fridge and large pantry. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare large family meals. The dining room has seating for 10+ with a table for 8 in the breakfast porch! (kids table anyone?) The breakfast porch includes lots of windows with beautiful views of the lake, breakfast seating, sectional (queen bed pull out) and 55'' flat screen tv. The main level living room includes a wood burning fireplace, two leather couches and a corner table to play cards, jigsaw puzzle or read.

The second level has 4 bedrooms plus a seating area for reading or quiet time away from the action. :-) We have a king bedroom, two queen rooms and a fantastic kids bedroom with their own 50 & 55" TV's! The kids room includes two sets of bunkbeds, large sofa sleeper, small futon, video game console and air hockey table.

As you make your way up the 3rd level staircase, we added an additional bedroom and bathroom. The family room is an excellent option to hang out to watch moves on the 85” flat screen, play cards, foosball or Ms. Pac-Man.

There are yard games, picnic tables, water toys and more in the tuck under garage. The patio includes a gas grill, stand up refreshment cooler and seating for 8 around patio table. We also have a new firepit perfect for the fall nights. S’mores!

There are two washing machines and a dryer in the basement for guest use including a laundry chute for convenience from the kitchen and 2nd level bedrooms.

Our home has something for everyone and the space to spread out.

There’s lots to do in Storm Lake, including hitting the water park, boating and fishing on our beautiful lake. Our home is in walking distance to the downtown area that includes an ice cream parlor, multiple antique shops, an amazing gift shop and more!

Check back for more updates to this historic home in Storm Lake, IA. We also have a stately home two blocks along Lakeshore Drive!
