729 Grand Avenue is located in Keokuk, Iowa in the heart of the Grand Avenue/Park Place National Historic District that extends along a bluff 200 feet above the Mississippi River and is often referred to as the "Miracle Mile" for its abundance of beautiful historic homes. A leisurely six-block stroll leads to Rand Park's gardens, lakes, fountains, beautiful green hills and outdoor amphitheater. Developed in the 1880's, the part boasts one of the most scenic overlooks of the Mississippi and hosts a variety of activities throughout the year, including the annual "City of Christmas" with nearly 100 displays and over a million lights. Also nearby is plenty of sightseeing, fishing, boating, bicycling, swimming, golf and antiquing. The Midwest's largest historic preservation site ("Williamsburg of the Midwest") is a beautiful 20 minute drive (12 miles) north along the Mississippi.

Impeccably restored 1902 Renaissance Revival riverfront estate on nearly 0.8 acres just 20 minutes from historic Nauvoo, Illinois. Located on a bluff 200 feet above the Mississippi River just upriver from the hydroelectric plant, lock and dam at Keokuk, Iowa in a National Historic District, the property was designed to take advantage of dramatic river views from most rooms. Would be a dream primary residence for a large family, fabulous second home for extended family gatherings, or profitable Airbnb, vacation rental or retreat center given proximity to Nauvoo which receives hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Tremendous value, priced significantly below cost at under $110 per finished square foot.

This classic example of Renaissance Revival architecture was constructed in 1902 by master builder John Young of the finest materials, including tile roof, copper gutters, and brick walls with limestone base. Set on a bluff, 200 feet above the Mississippi River just above the dam and hydroelectric plant at Keokuk, Iowa, the home was designed to take full advantage of the dramatic river views from almost every room. The property extends all the way down the thickly wooded hillside toward the river and is located near the crest of the hill on Keokuk’s famous Grand Avenue, which boasts an impressive collection of stately turn-of-the-century homes. The entire neighborhood was designated a National Historic District in 2003.
