About This Home
As of July 2024*Sellers are leaving $7,500 of insurance dollars with the property for buyers to use for home improvement.* This beautiful Victorian home built in 1900 is just one block from the Grinnell College campus, 2 blocks from Fairview Elementary School, and four blocks from Ahrens Park. The home exhibits gorgeous woodwork and natural light throughout, has a lovely 3-season front porch, a west facing 2-tier deck, and a spacious foyer with oak pocket doors. There are 4-bedrooms, 2.5-bathrooms, and 2,190 sq. ft. of living space on the first two floors, including a formal dining room and a living room off the kitchen with a sliding glass door to the back deck. Also on the first floor is a generously sized flex room with extra cabinet and closet space and a rear entrance out to the garage. The third floor offers a spacious climate-controlled attic. The kitchen counters and sink were replaced in 2019, and a Bosch dishwasher and reverse osmosis in 2023, and the bathrooms have recent improvements. The roof, gutters, and driveway were new in 2023 and the 2-car detached garage and pad was new in 2022. Don’t miss the opportunity to tour this charming home. You can’t dream of a better location!
