About This Home
Sale Pending - Price significantly reduced. Owner anxious to sell! Just 1.5 miles off the highway, this 2-story, 3-bed, 2-bath home sits on over 2.52 acres of peaceful Iowa countryside. With 1,694 sq. ft. of living space, it offers a spacious layout - including a large living room, formal dining room area, and two enclosed porches with views of mature trees. What makes this home truly special is its character: handcrafted hardwood trim and custom finishes throughout, thoughtfully chosen by a previous owner with an eye for design. Outbuildings include a 27'x36' garage and 16'x32' shed. Recent updates add peace of mind - new septic system, 2023 well pump, new heat pump, and an owned 1,000-gallon propane tank.
