Offered at an accessible baseline price of $150,000—equating to an astounding ~$45 per square foot—this 1900-built five-bedroom, four-bathroom turn-of-the-century residence sits commandingly on a prominent 6,969-square-foot corner town lot.

Offered strictly in “as-is” condition, the home provides a massive volume of pre-war square footage at a rock-bottom acquisition baseline. It serves as an ideal restoration canvas for an experienced preservationist, multi-generational family, or investor looking to execute a high-margin historical restoration, house-hack, or long-term rental conversion in Sioux City’s desirable Grandview district.

The residence delivers a distinguished, nostalgic street presence along Grandview Boulevard, defined by classic turn-of-the-century wood siding, multi-gabled architectural rooflines, and a stately corner orientation. Inside, the grand 3,200+ square foot interior is a showcase of early-20th-century artisan execution. Pristine original hardwood floors, smooth-gliding original pocket doors, double staircases, and an exquisite focal fireplace run throughout the expansive floor plan, filling the living areas with timeless character.

🏛️ Main Manor Interior Layout & Artisan Millwork

The home’s multi-level geometry is exceptionally practical, organizing grand formal receiving parlors alongside flexible service and sleeping tracks:

The Ground Floor Common Core: Opens into an imposing reception foyer anchored by classic double staircases. Smooth-gliding pocket doors transition into a massive formal living room centered around a grand fireplace. The dining hall connects to the culinary center via a functional walk-through butler’s pantry—complete with built-in vintage wooden cabinetry and display showcases.

Five-Bedroom Sleeping Wing: The upper residential tiers anchor five true, generously proportioned bedrooms, providing extraordinary spatial versatility for large households, multi-generational arrangements, or dedicated remote executive home offices.

Four-Bathroom Utility Matrix: The estate features a flexible 4-bathroom plumbing layout (configured as 1 full bath, 1 three-quarter bath, and 2 half baths) distributed across the tiers, giving a restorer a solid foundation to modernize without cutting new main plumbing stacks.

Partially Finished Lower Level: Below the main floors sits a partially finished basement footprint, offering immediate dry storage capacity alongside high-upside expansion potential for recreation or workshop zones.

🐎 Corner Lot Setting & Carriage House Loft Asset

The defining exterior asset of this $150,000 transaction is its corner parcel placement and versatile outbuildings:

Prominent Corner Parcel: Measuring 6,969 square feet (0.16 acres), the corner site enhances natural light exposure across all 3,200+ square feet while providing excellent street frontage.

Detached Garage & Carriage House Loft: Includes a detached one-car garage featuring a unique upper-level carriage house space. This secondary loft structure provides an incredible blank canvas for an art studio, workshop, or future accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rental conversion.

🔍 Key Features & Preservation Value Points Explained

🏛️ Unmatched Financial Runway at ~ $45 Per Square Foot: Securing nearly 3,300 square feet of character-rich architecture with double staircases, pocket doors, and a carriage house loft for $150,000 represents an extraordinary value play. The ultra-low entry cost protects your capital reserves while leaving a massive budget margin to fund a comprehensive modernization.

🐎 Flexible Detached Carriage House Loft Asset: Having a separate upper-level carriage house space above the garage provides rare multi-use flexibility. Once finished out, this auxiliary space can serve as a high-yield short-term rental unit, private creative studio, or remote executive office.

🪵 Intact Pre-War Artisan Craftsmanship: Sourcing a 1900 home where the original pocket doors, butler’s pantry cabinetry, hardwood floors, and fireplace mantel remain intact saves tens of thousands of dollars in custom millwork restoration costs.
