About This Home
As of January 2026This meticulous 2.5 story sits on the site of the original Iowa State Fairgrounds in the
North of Grand neighborhood. Once a multi-family home, the current owner converted it
to a single-family home 30+ years ago with thoughtful execution. The home boasts 4
bedrooms + a finished attic with 3⁄4 bath, currently used as a 5th bedroom. Marvel at the
original hardwood floors in the front entry, dining and living rooms and the custom stairs
and staircase designed to fit the house’s original landscape. The kitchen was fully
remodeled in 2020 by Grand Homes & Renovations and includes custom cabinetry,
double ovens, gas stove, heated tile floors and Sonos audio system. Remove your
shoes on this tour to appreciate heated floors in the half bath, back entrance and
remodeled full bath on the 2nd floor. Enjoy a yard filled with a variety of hostas, grasses
and perennials in bloom throughout the seasons from the covered front porch, 2nd floor
balcony or wood deck off the back entry made from IPE Brazilian wood. The basement
isn’t an old and creepy one! There are two rooms previously used as offices and one
room used as a workshop. Hot water boiler (2024), Water heater (2024), 7 zone mini
split heat pump, security is wired in both house and garage. Front porch new cement
(2022). All appliances stay. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms!
