INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY — PRIME DOWNTOWN LOCATION
This is one of those properties you just don’t find very often.
Whether you’re looking for a big, beautiful home for yourself, or you want a contractor special and huge profit on a flip, or want to keep it as an incredible Airbnb/income opportunity, the possibilities here are HUGE.
With soaring cathedral ceilings — nearly 20 feet in the living room — tons of space and a layout unlike anything else available in town, this 4 bedroom home could easily become one of the most stunning homes in Waukon.
We originally envisioned this as an amazing Airbnb that could sleep 12–16 guests. The location and size make it perfect for:
• Wedding weeks & large groups
• Bachelorette weekends
• Traveling nurses & healthcare professionals
• Longer-term furnished stays
• Downtown visitors
• Or an incredible personal residence
THE LOCATION IS HARD TO BEAT.
The hospital and nursing home are behind the property, making it an awesome option for traveling healthcare professionals. KwikTrip is directly across the street, Subway, flower shop, and massage studio are next door, and you’re right downtown near the bars, restaurants and everything happening in town.
The property comes with a huge, private blacktop parking area in back, giving you plenty of room for guest parking or the possibility of building your own garage.
The side yard is a great size, and the backyard is nice and private — picture a hot tub, fire pit, outdoor entertaining area and yard games for yourself or Airbnb guests.
The exterior has beautiful plaster/stucco character with partial ZIP sheathing, and the home already has a brand-new roof, fascia and soffit, as we’ve started the process of making this house shine!
The demolition stage inside is DONE. It’s essentially a blank canvas ready for you to come in and put your finishing touches on it exactly how you want it. The furnace is newer and works as far as we know.
We absolutely LOVE this property and had every intention of turning it into an incredible Airbnb ourselves. The only reasons we’re willing to let it go is because we are too busy building custom homes for clients, and we’re shifting our investment toward purchasing a property out of state.
See the actual photos and the AI generated inspiration photos to see how beautiful this can be.
There’s simply nothing else around town with this combination of dramatic ceilings, size, downtown location, parking, backyard, and income potential.
