A rare jewell, perched gracefully atop a scenic bluff in one of Dubuque's most cherished neighborhoods, is 563 West 11th Street, locally known as the John Bell House. This stunning Second Empire masterpiece has been lovingly restored to showcase its 19-th century charm and was designed by architect Ora Holland. This home has five luxurious bedrooms, including two en-suites. A modern two and a half car garage addition has been tastefully added to the original structure. Crowning the garage addition is an amazing screen porch to ensure relaxation and enjoyment spring through fall. Take in the outdoors with the onsite greenhouse, chicken coop, gardens, and a walking path that meanders down to a cozy fire pit nested in the hillside, a perfect setting for stargazing. Avon Park is right next door, and this home is within walking distance to Dubuque's famed farmers market, Carnegie Stout Library, specialty restaurants, shops, and coffeehouses. Currently being operated as a successful Airbnb, the remarkable property offers endless possibilities for its next owner.
