Description
This is one of those iconic Quad Cities homes that you've probably driven past for years and wondered what it looked like inside. Rich in local history, the home was once owned by prominent Davenport businessman and civic leader William R. Weir, whose family later gained national attention through his daughter, Mary Weir's, marriage to Neil Vanderbilt. Completely renovated prior to the current owners' purchase, this 3,600+ square-foot home seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury. Original architectural details have been thoughtfully preserved while every major living space has been updated to provide the comfort and feel of a newer home. Offering four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a three-car garage, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Davenport history without sacrificing modern conveniences. Step through the front door into the impressive grand foyer featuring exposed wood beams, beautiful hardwood floors, and timeless craftsmanship. The heart of the home is the massive eat-in kitchen, designed for entertaining on any scale. It features a jumbo center island with breakfast bar seating, white cabinetry, oversized subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, beverage cooler, and an enormous walk-in pantry.
