Create your dream home in this piece of Iowa City history! The iconic Lindsay House (also known as the Bloom County House) features spaces of all sizes. Highlights include a third-floor tower room, an authentic Victorian balcony, spacious private rooms, and flexible combo rooms with sliding doors that can function as bedrooms or multi-purpose spaces. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this downtown property is credited as inspiration for the boarding house in Berkeley Breathed's "Bloom County" comic strip. Authentic architectural details include a wrap-around front porch, a three-story corner masonry chimney, an artisanal stone-arched window, an octagonal tower, fish scale siding, and unique landmark status. The home preserves some antique elements throughout, including doors, woodwork such as baseboards, trim, accents, hardware, windows/glass, wood floors, cast iron radiators, bathtubs, and more. Over the years, this versatile property has served as a private residence, a fraternity, apartments, and most recently a 10-bedroom rooming house. Major maintenance items include a new roof in 2021 and updated electrical & heating systems. A truly unique, versatile historic home ready for its next chapter, available now!
