About This Home
As of May 2025Sitting on a sunny corner lot just steps from downtown Story City, this storybook cottage is full of personality, space, and unexpected perks for the price. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and tall ceilings that bring in light and volume, the home feels both open and cozy at once. From the moment you arrive, the charming stucco exterior and welcoming front porch set the tone. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors stretching across the main level, a spacious living room, and a surprisingly large kitchen with updated cabinetry and room to gather. A half bath on the main level adds convenience, while the upstairs layout offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath that's been thoughtfully updated. The basement is clean, functional, and ready to be finished if you want even more living space down the road. Outside, the fully fenced backyard and expansive back deck create a private retreat for pets, play, or summer BBQs. Tucked in a quiet residential pocket with walkability to schools, parks, and downtown favorites, this location offers small-town charm with quick I-35 access for commuting. Whether you're buying your first home or looking to downsize with style, this one checks a lot of boxes—and then some.
