Description
Looking for history! This Victorian Masterpiece has been loved by just two owners since it was built in 1890 by renowned architect F.E.Hyde. The Bissell family from 1890-1977 and the Mozena family from 1977-2023. The author Richard Bissell, from The Pajama Games fame and his wife were the last of the Bissell family to reside here. This home has been lovingly restored by the Mozena family and has been featured in Midwest Living, Riverland, and The Iowan. It has also served as a site for several films and multiple historic home tours. This home retains outstanding millwork of Butternut and Quarter Sawn Oak, as well as vintage lighting. Upgrades include, new kitchen with hand made cabinetry in original style, geo thermal to provide heating and cooling with backup high efficiency boiler, solar panels augment electrical production, windows have been replicated with thermo- efficient replacement, and siding has been replicated with Hardie Board for reduced maintenance and historic compliance. The entrance is comprised of double 500# oak doors with beveled glass. There is a long reception hall with coffered oak ceiling leading to an ornate 3 story staircase. Additional unique features include a large dance or billiard room on the third floor. There is a 700 bottle capacity wine cellar in the basement. Copper guttering accents the home and 2.5 car detached garage. A large wrap around porch allows for al fresco dining and entertaining. First floor is ideal for entertaining with a large parlor, cozy library and spacious dining room, eat in kitchen with butler’s pantry and an office. Pocket doors provide beauty and privacy as desired. Second floor has three bedrooms, 2 full baths, large laundry room and bonus room which can be used as work out room or upper living room. Third floor has two additional bedrooms, full bathroom. Large .85 acre lot is ideal for gardening and play area. Come for a visit and buy for a lifestyle.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter had a great year in 6th grade and I was very confident in the school. I loved all the 6th grade teacher except for one who at parent teacher conferences was not very parent inviting or friendly. The 6th grade teacher so far from my experience were so much more compassionate and understanding. They were better at communicating and grading homework on time in a polite way. 7th grade now that has turned the tables for me. There is one teacher who seems privileged and that is putting it lightly. There is no consideration for who may be involved in things. When it comes for grading thing there is even one teacher who has a helper and has taken 2 weeks to grade something and when my daughter asked about it the teacher was very snotty in person and in email because I read it too that she would get to it when she can and that my daughter probably didn’t turn it in. I went back into her emails and verified she did. This will be a long year for her and I personally cannot wait to get her out of this school now. I might change my mind for 8th grade but we will see.Parent Review7mo ago
