The building features 5 rooms, 3 bathrooms, a large sanctuary, an unfinished kitchen, two furnaces, and a basement, offering a solid foundation for your renovation plans. The current owner has already begun restoration and is including tools and building materials with the sale, giving the next owner a head start. Located just two blocks from UnityPoint Trinity Regional Hospital and Dragon Boat Park along the Des Moines River, you'll enjoy easy access to walking trails, fishing, recreation, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, all within minutes. The additional lot behind the building extends to the end of the block, providing abundant outdoor space for parking, future expansion, gardens, or other creative uses. Property is being sold AS IS. Buyer is responsible for verifying zoning, permitted uses, and future development opportunities with the appropriate local authorities.
