About This Home
As of July 2025Great opportunity to acquire an updated ranch in Grinnell! As you walk through the front door, you will immediately notice the open layout this home has to offer. You will find a nice-sized living room that is completely open to the updated kitchen and dining area. Down the hall, there are 3 bedrooms and the full bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom have been completely remodeled in the last two years. The kitchen remodel included the fixtures, cabinets & island, solid surface countertop, and stainless steel appliances. The bathroom remodel included fixtures, tile floor & shower, double vanity, and linen cabinet for plenty of storage. Laundry is located on the main level in the bathroom as well. Continuing through the dining area, you arrive in the sunroom that has been updated with vinyl windows, electric baseboard heat, and a mini-split. There is updated LVP flooring throughout the living room, kitchen, hallway and sunroom. Venturing to the basement, you arrive at a large family room with an electric fireplace that offers extra space for entertaining friends and family. There is a non-conforming 4th bedroom and large utility/storage room in the basement as well. Don't forget about the attached 1 car garage and large backyard that is fully fenced!
