Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from February 15, 2023
Now is the time to take advantage of this great opportunity! This well updated ranch home is ready for its new owner to move right in and enjoy! With just under 1,000sqft on the main level you will have plenty of space for family and entertaining. When you walk in you’re greeted with amazing hardwood floors that lead to an oversized great room that includes a linear electric fireplace with shiplap surround. From there you are led into a perfect sized dining area that you just don’t find in a lot of homes this size. Perfect for gatherings and or an office area as well. Tucked off the dining area you will enjoy the updated kitchen with tiled backsplash, modern cabinets, and all appliances included. Finishing out the main level is 2 very good-sized bedrooms that are separated by an updated bathroom that offers plenty of space. The basement has good ceiling height that allows for future finish very easily. Currently the basement is setup as a “man cave” area for gaming and or watching the big game. Washer and dryer is also included. Go outside and you will find a good-sized deck, that includes a pergola for those hot days, that is perfect for grilling and hanging out. Make sure to check out the 2 car detached garage that helps protect your car from the Iowa winters and also give you a great space for more storage and or shop space. Make this one to see!
