Property details

About 101 W Alta Vista Ave

This stunning all-brick home is a prime example of early 20th-century architecture and design, brimming with timeless character and charm. The original woodwork remains beautifully preserved, complemented by arched doorways, solid wood doors, elegant French doors, and exquisite hardwood floors. The east-facing sunroom provides the perfect spot to enjoy morning sunrises, bright afternoon light, and a shaded retreat for evening gatherings. Over the years, thoughtful updates have been made, including remodeled bathrooms, several windows, upgraded lighting, a modernized electrical panel, air conditioning unit, fireplace surround, egress windows, newer carpeting, and one recently replaced boiler. Ideally situated, the home faces the Ottumwa Golf and Social Club to the east, with the Vogel Place Historic District just steps away to the south and east.
