    What's special

    You will have a difficult time finding a nicer home in this price range! The address is on Watrous, but the home is set back from the street, tucked onto a large lot next to a church. There's a very long list of updates in the past ten years: Hardiplank siding, many new windows, updated electric and plumbing, all light fixtures, all mechanicals, shed, front and back decks, sump pump, front door, all interior doors, and completely remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is gorgeous with maple cabinetry, granite counters, and new appliances. The entire second floor is the master suite--a huge bedroom, walk-in closet, and beautiful bath complete with jet tub, double vanities, separate tiled shower, and tile floor. Main floor laundry with washer and dryer included. Most of the lot is fenced. This home is in an NFC area (Neighborhood Finance Corp), so buyer may qualify for a $10,000 forgivable loan that could be used to build a garage. This property is located just east of Wakonda golf course. Hurry to see this one!

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
