I've been sitting pretty on one of Bettendorf's highest hilltops for more than a century and finding nearly an acre like mine in the middle of town isn't exactly easy. Add sweeping Mississippi River views, mature trees, a circular drive and the new bridge lighting up after dark, and I may be showing off a little. I even have two ways to welcome you. My original front entrance begins at the circular drive and long screened porch, while around back you'll find the entrance my owners use most, a tucked-away arrival with generous paved parking and a fountain greeting you in the middle of it all. Inside, nearly 3,000 sq. ft. blends original character...read more with thoughtful updates. My living room features a fireplace, the family room adds a small bar area, while the updated kitchen brings quartz countertops, tiled backsplash and newer appliances. A butlers pantry adds even more function, with a covered carport conveniently nearby because its a necessity for unloading groceries in Iowa weather. Upstairs, my spacious primary suite saves my best view for itself. Step onto the private balcony and take in the Mississippi River and the new bridge, beautiful by day and even better when the bridge lights up at night. Two additional bedrooms and 2 updated baths complete the second floor. Now lets talk parking, because saying I have a 4-car garage doesnt quite do me justice. My heated tandem garage features tall overhead doors, space for 4+ vehicles or a workshop area and its own half bath. Theres also a massive high-clearance carport for oversized vehicles, and RV, boats or toys, plus that additional carport near the butlers pantry. With .88 acre, mature trees, river views, nearly 3,000 sq. ft., a screened porch, multiple outdoor spaces and a garage setup you simply dont find every day in Bettendorf, Im definitely not your cookie-cutter house. Ive got history. Ive got updates. Ive got room for all the cars. And when that bridge lights up over the river at night? Ive got one heck of a view.
