About This Home

Full of warmth, character, and smart updates, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath classic home built in 1964 offers an efficient layout with space exactly where you need it. You'll love the new bay windows that flood the main level with natural light, along with large family rooms both upstairs and down — ideal for everyday living, hobbies, or hosting. The kitchen has been tastefully refreshed and flows easily into a comfortable sunroom, perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Storage is no issue with plenty of well-placed closets and built-ins, and recent upgrades like a new hot water heater, new fence for the back yard, and other thoughtful improvements mean less to worry about and more to enjoy. Outside, the beautiful backyard features a charming grapevine enclosure with fire pit that feels like your own hidden retreat. Whether you're looking for a starter home, a right-size move, or a well-maintained classic in a great location with easy access to HWY 30, Cy-Ride and Lincoln Way — this one deserves a look.
