About this House

Act quickly to experience this timeless historic gem ideally located just south of the ISU campus and west of Hilton Coliseum and Jack Trice Stadium. This charming two-story home showcases a classic English pebbledash exterior and offers 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and over 1,800 finished square feet of character-filled living space.
The main level features an updated kitchen with butcher block countertops, Pella windows, abundant storage, and inviting counter seating. A formal dining room with stunning custom windows sets the stage for memorable gatherings, while the cozy family room centers around a woodburning fireplace. An enclosed office provides flexible workspace, and the updated 'vintage-inspired' powder bath adds distinctive charm.
Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile bonus area connecting two bedrooms -- ideal for a homework station, reading nook, or future primary bath expansion. Beyond the stated square footage, the attic offers two additional finished rooms perfect for bedrooms, play space, or private offices.
Original hardwood floors run throughout the home, enhancing its warmth and authenticity. A 50-year architectural shingle roof and new gutters were installed in 2015 for peace of mind.
Outside, thoughtfully designed landscaping surrounds a tranquil koi pond, fire pit, deck, and patio -- creating an exceptional setting for relaxing summer evenings. The unfinished basement includes updated windows, generous storage, recreation space, and a dedicated laundry area.
Just blocks from campus, with restaurants, coffee shops, and places of worship within easy walking distance, this location simply cannot be beat.

Homes offering this much character, space, and proximity under $400,000 are rare in today's market.

    "I’ve lived here for 2 years. It’s ISU owned housing so we have most amenities. It’s near Greek housing so there is a large party scene on the weekends. It’s also near Lincoln Way so it can be loud."
  • Laryssa M.
    "Its nice to live close to campus but it would be better if it had some grocery store near by. It feels safe and I like that the bars are right across the street!"
  • Jasturm50
    "This neighborhood has homes that are a 12 minute walk from Iowa State University campus, and that have a 3-mile cross country course directly behind them. It is a safe neighborhood on a bus route. Campus town shops and restaurants are a 5 minute walk. While students live in campus town as well, one becomes aware of them only on a few weekend evenings a year. "
