Nestled in the heart of Iowa, this beautiful brick ranch has a charming exterior and peaceful fully fenced-in backyard! The unique and functional floor plan offers three bedrooms, conveniently located near the full bathroom, ample storage, and a large multi-purpose room that can be enjoyed as a family room or play, exercise, or rec room… it easily adapts to whatever one wishes. The kitchen features an abundance of cabinets, a center island (with bonus outlets & charging stations), and quality countertops. The breakfast bar in the dining area offers additional seating too! Half-bath is an added convenience. The large living room with picture window adds to the welcoming feel of the home. The basement provides an amazing amount of storage, room for a workshop, with potential to finish and customize for additional living area. The attached 2-car garage is a luxury during Iowa winters. Brick exterior and covered gutters, the required maintenance is minimal. This friendly neighborhood is close to Colby Park (walking/running/bike trails and movies, live bands, and other events in the park), a variety of restaurants, entertainment, groceries and other shopping, an assortment of businesses, and access to public transit to be convenient, while still being set apart from the hustle and bustle.
This home is being sold “as is". Allowance of $1,500 is available with an acceptable offer, for a stove/oven or to apply towards cosmetic changes. Home warranty is also being provided!
