Well cared for 3-bed, 2 bath home just a short walk away from the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Fresh paint throughout the entire interior so it's ready to move into. The kitchen has a pantry cabinet for extra storage and comes with the stove, refrigerator and microwave, and the washer and dryer stay as well. Updated main level bath with walk-in tiled showers. The lower level is finished and walks out to the backyard, and it has a non-conforming bedroom, a bathroom of its own, and a kitchenette with a stove hookup, so it sets up well as a guest suite, an in-law space, or a spot for an older kid who wants their own area. Out back there's a 30x21 deck with power run to it and lighting along a conduit railing. Storage shed and a garden space out back too. Water softener and a newer driveway. Front porch deck out front for morning coffee. The adjoining lot is owned by the seller and is not included in the list price, but it is available to purchase separately if a buyer wants the extra ground. Call the listing agent for details on that. Easy access to the fair, downtown and the interstate. Set up a showing and come take a look.
