About This Home

As of March 2025

Just step inside this house, and you'll see that it's special. The hardwood floors have that perfect, subtle creak of history. Sunlight spills through the tall windows onto the freshly painted walls and trim. Wander through the main floor and take it all in. The living room—comfortable and inviting. The dining room—ready for your big table and gatherings. The kitchen—bright and functional, with hard surface counters and a new dishwasher—perfect for both quick breakfasts and weekend baking. Trace your fingers along the smooth old-world banister to spacious bedrooms and a large full bathroom. Step outside and linger! The reconfigured back porch is truly an extension of the living room, ideal for morning coffee or unwinding after a long day. The backyard features renewed landscaping, many new trees, and a private, peaceful retreat of its own. The garage roof has been newly restored and replaced, solid and ready for years of use. All of this is just a few steps away from Grinnell College, downtown, Central Park, and Fairview Elementary. Live close to Grinnell’s best while still enjoying your own peaceful escape. Take that step inside. Look. See. Life unfolds easily in this home—memories waiting to be made. Make your appointment today!
