We've had several requests for a photo of the exterior of the house. We still need to do a lot of work (painting, window trim, gutters, etc.), but here is what the house looks like today.

We have been busy this past year renovating this 80+ year old home located in the heart of Iberia, Missouri. It has always been a dream of mine to “save” an old house and when this one came on the market I knew this was “the one”. I’m sure everyone thought we were crazy to tackle this project, but this house holds many family memories for me and my family as my Great Aunt Eunice and Uncle Maurice Mace raised their family in this house. They were host to many family gatherings over the years. I have memories of homemade ice cream and some competitive croquet games in the back yard in the summer. And many other family meals on the holidays. One of my favorite memories was Aunt Eunice’s special birthday cake. She always hid a button in the cake and the recipient of that piece of cake had to pay the birthday gal or guy a dollar for every year since their birth. Looking back, I’m pretty sure it was rigged because Uncle Maurice always seemed to receive the piece of cake with the button in it. And if you knew Uncle Maurice, he grumbled and complained but he always paid up in the end.

We had our work cut out for us since most of the house was still in the original state from when it was built sometime in the 1940’s. We had to replace wiring, plumbing, insulation, windows, kitchen cabinets, all new bathrooms and do some structural repairs. While we couldn’t save a lot of the original design materials, we were able to keep the interior floor plan in tact for the most part and we were able to maintain the outside look of the original house.

Now what to do with the house? Well, we hope many other families and friends can create some special memories in this house too. We will be offering the house for weekend / weekly rentals. We felt there was a need in Iberia for this type of rental since the nearest motel or condo is 20 to 30 miles away. So when you are in town for that wedding, family reunion or just some time back in your hometown, avoid the travel time and enjoy more time here with your loved ones while you are in the area.

Call us for more information or to schedule a tour of “The Mace Place”.
