About this House

What's unique:Office areaAppliances to stayBack deckDining room
Check out this affordable home located close to downtown! This home would make a good fixer upper or an investment property as a rental. The main floor features a good sized living room, kitchen with plenty of cupboard space and appliances to stay, a dining room, a full bathroom, one bedroom with lots of closet space, and an office area. Upstairs you will find a bedroom with an additional sitting area/closet. Full basement is partially finished with a large family/rec room, non-conforming bedroom, laundry/utility room, and a room that is set up for a 3/4 bathroom that is not finished. This home was moved here in 1998 so the basement and foundation was done at that time. Enjoy your evenings relaxing on your back deck. Good sized backyard with alley access and room to build a detached garage. New roof in 2023, new furnace and AC in 2026. Call today to set up your private viewing!

    "I’ve lived here 5 years after moving back from college, after growing up in Cresco. Elm Street is starting to thrive with new businesses. Living by the fairgrounds specifically is a great neighborhood with nice neighbors who help look out for your kids and community. Safe and close to everything. BUT careful what you do or say because no one is protected from small-town gossip. Great town to raise a family!"

    "Cresco has a large fitness center with a pool that can be used by anyone for a small enterence fee. You can even leave and come back later without paying a second time! Cresco might not have many resturants, but they are all very good. I especially recommend the Chinese resturant. If you only have time to eat in one place, go to the Panda Garden. The greatest part about a small town is that it is compact. You can get to everything you need with just your feet. If you do want to use more than your feet, use your bike and the bike trail. You can take the trial to a number of other towns or you can just take it down to enjoy the springs with it's beautiful new water feature area. Cresco also has an active commuinty theatre group. You can take in great shows like Seussical, The Christmas Carol, or Mash. If you are ambitous, anyone is welcome to try out for a part or help out back stage. Come to Cresco and find your own section of the nut to enjoy."
