About this House
Less than a block away from the park and trails, this affordable home has everything you could want in the growing town of Ely all tucked away on a quiet street. There have been many upgrades in the last few years, including a new hot water heater, water softener, kitchen counters and unbelievable new carpet. With a metal roof and vinyl siding, you have low maintenance on the exterior. The primary bedroom used to be 2 rooms so you could keep the space or even easily add another bedroom. There is room for everyone to spread out with a spacious lower level, 4 season's room and large patio in the fenced back yard. The amount of space in the garage leaves room for all of your projects. Take a short walk to the park to go fishing at the pond, walk the trails or grab some ice cream at the creamery. Just a short commute to Cedar Rapids and in the sought after College Community School District. Call today for a showing!
