About this home
Welcome to one of Le Mars’ most iconic homes, where history and high design come together in spectacular fashion. Originally built by a US Congressman, this stunning residence has been completely reimagined from the inside out while preserving its historic exterior character. The original shell remains, but nearly everything else is brand new. The result is what happens when 1925 shakes hands with 2025 and says, “Let’s do something awesome.” From the moment you step onto the expansive covered front porch, you feel the presence of something special. Inside, natural light pours through oversized windows, highlighting clean architectural lines, rich wood trim, and a thoughtfully designed open layout that feels both grand and inviting. The living space is anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace and flows seamlessly into a chef-inspired kitchen featuring striking granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and a generous island built for gathering. This is a home designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Upstairs, the primary suite is massive and luxurious, offering a true retreat. Large windows, plush finishes, and spa-inspired tile work with bold matte black fixtures create a space that feels elevated and refined. Every detail has been intentionally crafted to blend historic charm with modern performance. You get the character of a legacy property with the peace of mind and efficiency of a newly built home. Taken down to the studs, this home features all new electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, a newly poured foundation, and an entirely new basement. This is not just an update. It is essentially new construction wrapped in timeless architecture. Located in Le Mars, the Ice Cream Capital of the World, this home is, quite literally, sweet. This is more than a renovation. It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with the confidence of brand new construction.
