Step inside this magnificent, fully restored Victorian masterpiece and fall in love with every detail. Situated on a quiet street in Bassett, this 2½-story home is a showpiece of craftsmanship, charm, and character — blending historic beauty with thoughtful updates.

With 4,174 sq. ft. above grade and an additional 1,567 sq. ft. in the partially finished basement, space and elegance abound. From the moment you arrive, the home’s round turret with a cone-shaped roof, covered front porch, and mature landscaping set the stage for what’s inside.

Step through the front door and be greeted by a grand wood staircase featuring decorative newel posts and spindles, and sweeping first steps that sets the tone for this stunning residence. Just off the entry, a window-lined nook within the turret offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or a good book. Rich original woodwork, solid multi-panel doors with antique knobs, tall ceilings, refinished wood floors, and thick trim with ornate headers showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era — meticulously preserved and restored to perfection.

The spacious living room features crown molding, a gas fireplace surrounded by decorative tile and a wood mantel, and a vintage beveled mirror framed in intricate woodwork — creating an inviting space that radiates warmth and sophistication. Flowing seamlessly from the living area is the formal dining room, complete with a built-in China cabinet featuring glass doors with drawers, multiple wall sconces, and a chandelier that cast a soft glow across the room.

The kitchen and main bath were tastefully remodeled in 2013, staying true to the home’s vintage charm while offering modern convenience. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, tile flooring, decorative tile backsplash, and a movable island perfect for meal prep or gatherings. The main floor bathroom highlights a pedestal sink and classic black-and-white tile flooring, blending style and authenticity.

A charming Dutch door leads to a spacious laundry and drop zone with ample counter space and seven tall built-in lockers, conveniently located just off the attached 2-car garage.

Upstairs, you’ll find five generous bedrooms, each filled with natural light and showcasing more of that gorgeous woodwork. The second-floor bathroom includes a dual-sink vanity and walk-in shower, again accented by black-and-white tile flooring.

The third-floor finished attic is a true retreat — complete with wood shiplap walls, a wet bar, and panoramic views of the Nebraska countryside. The highlight is the top of the turret, featuring round windows and a soaring vaulted cone ceiling — a one-of-a-kind hideaway perfect for relaxing, reading, or enjoying a quiet evening.

The partially finished basement adds even more living space, including a large family room, dual-sink bathroom with walk-in shower, and workbench and storage area with built-in shelving.

Outside, the beauty continues. Enjoy summer evenings on the front covered porch or host gatherings on the back deck overlooking a fenced yard with white vinyl fencing, sprinkler system, and established trees and landscaping.

Recent updates provide peace of mind, including new siding (2021), new windows (2010), updated wiring and plumbing, remodeled kitchen (2013), and a brand-new roof and gutters (2025). All exterior trim has been wrapped with aluminum siding, making the exterior virtually zero-maintenance while maintaining its timeless character.

This home is not just a property — it’s a piece of history brought into the present. With every corner offering something special, 302 E Bertha Street stands as one of Nebraska’s true architectural gems.
