Description
A Place to Begin...Every homeowner’s story starts somewhere, and this 1½-story 2+ bedroom home offers a comfortable place for everyday life to unfold. It carries the character of years well-lived while offering practical spaces that support today’s routines. Inside, the living room sets a warm tone with space to unwind and gather. It connects easily to the combined dining and kitchen, creating a natural flow. The kitchen blends function and charm with updated flooring, ample cabinetry, and room to work, cook, and connect. Nearby, the combined laundry and mudroom keeps the day organized, a smart drop-zone for coats, boots, and everything Iowa weather brings. A main-floor bedroom and full bath add flexibility for work-from-home needs or the ease of main-level living. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom offer comfortable space for a growing family. Out back, the composite deck becomes an extension of the home, a durable, low-maintenance spot for grilling, morning coffee, or evenings outside. Steps lead to a patio and fire-pit area that naturally invite gathering. The detached two-car garage adds storage and convenience, and the sewer line replacement completed in 2022 provides an important update for long-term peace of mind. This home offers a grounded, welcoming place to settle in and begin your next chapter.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrible!!!! Consider any other surrounding school before Spencer... PLEASE! This school system is a joke and is extremely pretentious. Several families I know of have removed their children from this school system this year with more doing the same next year. My child will no longer attend school here, either, as the support, educational excellence and moral compasses of the educators and administration is C level at best.Parent Review8y ago - Fairview Park Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll 3 of my children have gone or are still going to Johnson. Our oldest, now 8 and attending Fairview, began attending in kindergarten when they began the grade alike program. The program has been absolutely wonderful. The bullying happens less often. And when it does happen, it is taken care of immediately. The Child's Garden program at Johnson for preschool there is one of the best preschool programs I've seen yet. . The staff is knowledgeable and wonderful. They have made such an impression on my children and they all love going to school just to see their teachers! You couldn't ask for anything better!Parent Review11y ago - Lincoln Elementary School
