A Colorful Victorian From the Street
The listing presents this as a Victorian with intricate original woodwork. From the sidewalk, the house has a steep roofline, a wrap of porch columns and decorative brackets. One photo catches the side of the house beside a bright autumn tree; another shows a fan-shaped motif under the porch.
Leaded Glass, Wood Floors and an Open Staircase
Inside, the listing highlights intricate original woodwork, preserved wood floors, a distinctive keyhole window, leaded-glass windows and an open staircase. The photos show a leaded window looking out to fall color, and a main hall with a staircase, fireplace and patterned wood floors.
The listing also describes a formal parlor and dining room, a servant-quarters room with a second staircase, a walk-up third-floor attic, and a renovated garage loft. Those are listing details; confirm them in person.
Bedrooms and Baths
Zillow lists 4 bedrooms across 2,180 square feet, on a lot of 9,147 square feet (about 0.21 acres). The bath count is less clear. The headline says 3 baths, while the narrative mentions a main-level half bath, an upstairs full bath and a lower-level 3/4 bath. We are not treating any one figure as final; ask the listing agent to confirm the configuration.
Condition Notes
The Zillow page does not mark the house as as-is. Statements about preserved woodwork and a renovated garage loft are the listing’s claims, not inspection findings. Staging was not disclosed, so furnishings in the photos should not be assumed to be staging or included.
A Small-City Victorian With a Lot of Detail
Waverly is a small city in northeast Iowa, and a fully decorated 1900 porch house is not something you see on every block. The green-and-pink exterior is the hook, but the real test will be the interiors: the second stair, the attic, the garage loft and the baths. A house this ornamental can be a joy to live in, and it can also ask for regular upkeep. See it in person before you decide.
Things to Verify
- The exact bath count and layout
- The condition of the roof, systems and foundation
- What the renovated garage loft includes
- Whether the fireplaces work
- A full inspection, as with any 1900 house
The Bottom Line
At $259,000, 308 2nd St SW offers a 1900 Victorian with a memorable green facade, original woodwork, leaded glass and an open staircase. It has only been listed a few days. If the exterior stops you, go see the interiors in person and get the bath layout confirmed before you rely on any one number.
