About this home
Rare opportunity to own one of Decorah’s most distinctive architectural properties. Located at 606 & 608 Vernon Street, just steps from downtown, parks, restaurants, and shopping, this fully renovated side-by-side duplex seamlessly blends historic character with modern convenience. Designed by noted architect Charles Altfillisch and constructed by the Fred Carlson Company in 1938, this International Style residence with Art Deco influences is a significant piece of Decorah’s architectural history. Built with exceptionally durable 8-inch concrete masonry walls and reinforced concrete floor construction, the property offers a level of quality, longevity, fire resistance, and sound separation rarely found today. Each nearly identical unit features three spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, inviting living rooms with cozy fireplaces, charming sun porches, beautifully updated kitchens with quartz countertops and Gossling custom cabinetry, stylish tiled bathrooms, numerous original built-ins, and attached single-car garages. Since 2021, the property has undergone an extensive restoration and modernization, including all-new electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, windows, flooring, lighting, central air conditioning systems, and new concrete sidewalks, patios, and driveways. Every major improvement has been thoughtfully completed, allowing the next owner to enjoy the home’s historic charm without the typical concerns of an older property. Outside, mature landscaping, flowering perennials, and thoughtfully designed gardens create a colorful, park-like setting that provides beauty throughout the seasons. Whether you’re seeking an owner-occupied investment property, multi-generational living arrangement, or a unique addition to your real estate portfolio, this exceptional duplex offers flexibility, character, and peace of mind in one of Decorah’s most desirable locations. Few properties combine architectural significance, extensive modern updates, walkable downtown access, and duplex versatility in such a complete package. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property and become the next steward of one of Decorah’s architectural gems. Contact your real estate agent for additional information regarding the architect, the owners' restoration award, and to schedule a private viewing....
