This fantastic 3 bedroom home is just a few blocks from Hawthorne Elementary School, The Freeborn County Fairgrounds and only minutes from everything else in this convenient North side location. The 3 bedrooms are complimented by 2 bathrooms and a very ideal 2 car attached garage. The main floor has one of the 3 bedrooms and the other two are upstairs along with the 2nd full bathroom. The main floor also has a large living room and separate formal dining room along with a great rear screened in 3 season porch. The basement has a great family room that has a wet bar / 2nd kitchen and there is also some semi-unfinished space that could be good for a 4th bedroom and / or a 3rd bathroom. Kent Avenue is a smaller one block long street that just feels perfectly hidden but is still very close to everything.
