About This Home

As of July 2025

Charming three-bedroom, one-bath home brimming with potential! While it could use some TLC, the property offers appealing features throughout. Ideally located right across from Becker Elementary and just down the street from Central Intermediate and the future Waterloo High School. Recent improvements include a newer asphalt driveway and freshly poured concrete front steps and landing. The side entry door will need some attention, but the detached two-stall garage offers an automatic opener for added convenience. Inside, the open basement provides endless possibilities—whether kept as-is or finished out, it’s ideal for a playroom, additional bedroom, media space, or flex area. The fenced backyard features large, recently trimmed trees, and a 12x12 wooden shed for extra storage. A fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers or anyone looking to invest in a home with great bones and a prime location.
