1403 2nd Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403

This unique 3 story Queen Ann style home was built in 1897, and still contains the majority of the original woodwork. With a full sized basement and additional 1,450 square feet in the recently insulated attic with vaulted ceilings, that only needs HVAC installation to complete, this massive home has tons of space and character. The historic carriage house, which predates the house by 27 years, has another 884 square feet. Just 2 blocks from Coe College and the MedQuarter district, directly across from the newly renovated Commonwealth building, and minutes to downtown. The property is in need of renovation since a house fire in 2016. It has an entirely new roof to both structures in 2015. The exterior was freshly painted in 2015 and won an award in 2016 for Residential Historic Paint Color Scheme by the Cedar Rapids Historic Preservation Commission. The historic nature of the property makes it eligible for both local and national historic registries. This would be the perfect project for a business or organization to restore. It is a prime location for a quaint law office, boarding house, or art gallery with a unique interpretive center. The history of the house was featured in an article by the Cedar Rapids Gazette Time Machine: House of Teachers. Located at 1403 2nd Ave SE.
