Property Description

Set on nearly an acre and connected to scenic Phelps Park, 309 Upper Broadway is one of Decorah's most distinguished Queen Anne Revival homes. Locally landmarked and lovingly preserved by noted preservationist Helen Basler, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of architectural grandeur and thoughtful updates. The home's exterior showcases hallmark features of the Queen Anne style, including a full wrap-around porch supported by Tuscan columns, decorative gables, a Palladian attic window, and textured shingle work. A brand-new roof ensures peace of mind. Interior details include original beveled glass windows, rich oak millwork, turned spindles, carved newel posts, balusters, and picture rails throughout. Enter through the grand, light-filled foyer, where a dramatic staircase with finely carved woodwork and original gas lamp fixtures (now electrified) sets an elegant tone. Nearby, a cozy reception nook with leaded glass windows offers a warm, intimate space for welcoming guests or quiet reading. Period-appropriate details include beautifully tiled fireplace surrounds with metal screens, and pocket doors between the formal parlors. The dining room is anchored by a built-in sideboard with beveled glass doors, and a butler's pantry adds both charm and functionality. The main level features a gracious living room, parlor, formal dining room, kitchen, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs, you'll find four generous bedrooms and three bathrooms—one of which features a fireplace. Outside of the bedrooms is a shared walk-out balcony with sweeping views of the backyard and Phelps Park. A cedar-lined linen closet and ample storage enhance everyday living. The third floor offers a dramatic open space with a turret—once used for dances and as a retreat by cigar-smoking gentlemen—perfect for recreation, studio, or a children's playroom. Additional amenities include a utility sink and toilet in the basement, a detached garage, and a charming log cabin playhouse nestled in the spacious yard. Combining timeless beauty with rare historical integrity, this is more than a home—it is a living piece of Decorah's heritage in one of its most coveted neighborhoods. Showings start on June 6, 2025.
