About this House

Looks can be deceiving—this home offers more space than you might expect from the outside! Step inside to a bright front sunroom filled with natural light. It opens to a comfortable living room that flows into the kitchen, which offers practical cabinet and storage space. The second bedroom is currently set up as the main-floor laundry room, but it could easily be converted back into a bedroom. Washer and dryer hookups are also available in the lower level, making the switch simple. A room off the kitchen offers flexibility as a dining room, home office, or bedroom. Just steps from the home, the breezeway leads to an oversized attached garage with room for vehicles and a workshop. The home is centrally located with easy access to Waterloo and Cedar Falls. Following a hail damage insurance claim, new metal roofs for both the house and garage are scheduled to be installed in the next few weeks. All new siding, trim, and gutters are also scheduled. Whether you’re looking for a starter home, a downsizer home, or an investment property, this one is worth a look!

    " The community is really good if you get into people like that. There is not a lot to do around here unless you have money. There are a lot of trains around. People have dogs around here a lot and I hear gunshots a lot. I grew up here so I don’t find it very exciting. Most people got to work come home and stay away from each other. "
