#23 16th Street, Sioux City, IA 51103

Step back into time and the glory of the Gilded Age at #23 16th Street, an impeccable exemplification of late 1800s craftsmanship and attention to detail. Located just west of the Historic Rose Hill District, this residence has been in the same family since the mid 20th century, and owned by only 3 families. Pristine care, upkeep, and restoration through the years means you will find almost all of the original features from 1895. When you arrive you will find a large double lot with a private garden for enjoying a life spent outdoors. Landscaping with perennials and mature trees offers enjoyment for years to come. The exterior has been recently painted to enhance architectural features. As you enter inside you access the space by the original door with stained glass that has been gingerly restored by Dave Bauerly. You find original, mint condition parquet flooring, stained glass, light fixtures, wall coverings, pocket doors, and more here. The main floor offers a foyer/vestibule, den, living area, dining area, kitchen with pantry/mud room, and the laundry/powder room combo space that leads to the 2nd floor by way of the servant stairs. Ascending the grand 2-story staircase you will find yourself in awe of the views and with strong sentiments of wonder at what this experience would have been like 129 years ago. On the second floor are three large bedrooms, all with original hardwoods and lovely natural light. There is a smaller 4th bedroom, great for a nursery or small home office. The main bathroom has been completely redone, albeit the intact original tile floor. There is walkable attic space that could be finished off for additional use. Modern amenities here include a 2-stall garage with 2nd floor, Lenox heating & cooling system, fenced yard, main floor laundry, stainless appliances, newer electric.
