About This Home

As of July 2025

Want to enjoy the best of both worlds? This beautiful ranch acreage sits just outside of Pella and offers nearly 2 acres of peacefulness. Enjoy your privacy and also the conveniences of small town Iowa nearby! Huge mature trees provide a park-like setting and the opportunity to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, the seasons, wildlife, and great shade to cool off in during the summer. Located on pavement so no gravel dust.

The oversized sunken living room allows plenty of space for relaxation and entertaining. The living room features large windows, slider to patio, wood burning fireplace, stone wall accent, and decorative ceiling beams.

The master bedroom, updated full bathroom, laundry room, and mudroom/breezeway are all on the main floor which eliminates the need for stairs. An additional bedroom is located upstairs. The kitchen shines with its modern finishes, newer appliances, and room for family & friends.

Recent updates include: new refrigerator, new washer and dryer, new roof and gutters, ring spotlight/camera (over patio door and garage door), ring doorbell, and a smart garage control.

You have to see this property in-person to appreciate all that it offers!
