About This Home

Located in the heart of the North Historical District, 1233 Main Street offers a rare blend of historic soul and modern reliability just two blocks from Grinnell College and downtown shops. This 4 bedroom, 1.75 bath home was previously gutted and rebuilt, providing the peace of mind of a newer home in a premier established location. The main floor is designed for high-end functionality with an open concept kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, premium countertops, a dedicated coffee bar, and a deep walk-in pantry. A bright 3 season eat-in porch provides the perfect morning retreat, while the main floor laundry offers convenient access to the back patio. The main floor master suite includes a step-in shower, and a versatile second main floor bedroom easily converts to a home office or den. Upstairs, you will find two additional large bedrooms and a full bathroom. Structural updates include a newer foundation wall in the basement with an added sump pump for a dry, secure footprint. Outside, the property features a large 1.5 car garage built within the last several years and an oversized concrete driveway in excellent condition. This move-in ready residence puts you steps away from Central Park and the best of Grinnell. Whether you are looking for proximity to the college or a turn-key home in a quiet historical setting, this property delivers on every level. Make your appointment today! Dont let this one slip away!
