This incredible 1948, mid-century brick marvel is an amazing one level character home in the historic Mississippi Heights development of Eastern Davenport, fully restored and upgraded in 2015. Featured in an episode of "American Pickers" (a previous longtime owner collected and restored antique bicycles), all major systems have been replaced, including new electrical service, new central/forced AC & Heat, new stainless appliances, new windows and fully restored wood burning fireplace, crown moldings, door/lockset hardware, original solid hickory hardwood floors and a screened porch overlooking the back yard, all as of the 2015 full remodel of the property. The bath has been fully updated with new fixtures, including a gleaming subway tile tub surround. The completely updated kitchen boasts all new cabinets, counters, fixtures, lighting and a walk-in pantry. The living room features a fully restored wood-burning fireplace, arched doorways, a charming entry area and the original 1948 telephone niche with built-in book shelves and an arched telephone pass-through to the hallway telephone seat. Connected separate hallways with full linen closet and guest closets lead to two nicely sized bedrooms, each with ceiling fans, full closets and abundant natural lighting. Master bedroom easily accommodates a king size bed, double dresser, nightstands and highboy. Double doors in the kitchen lead to a side door landing, perfect for unloading groceries from one of the two driveways. The landing also leads to a new modern-sized stairway to the basement which is clean, bright and dry and features a work area with tool bench, laundry area with a new washer and dryer and some original built-in storage shelves. A lovely French door in the dining room opens to the original screened porch which looks out on the large, fully fenced backyard with mature trees and rolling lawn.

However, this is a more than 3rd acre lot facing back to a natural woods, providing an unexpected oasis. As of 2020, new roofs, gutters, paint, garage siding (house and garages) have been replaced as well as the addition of two patios, one: a raised 14' x 24' patio and two: a matching upper patio off of the kitchen. Also added in 2020 is a terraced 80' x20' slope  with new reraining walls.This unique property also features three 2-car garages, all accessed from the South driveway and perfect storage for watercraft or car collecting devotees. This gem of a home in Eastern Davenport is minutes from the East Village, golf, parks, shopping and recreation areas, and yet a world away in one of the Quad Cities' quietest and safest neighborhoods.
