Classic American Foursquare charm meets a peaceful wooded setting in this 3-bed, 1.5-bath Council Bluffs home! Perched above the street (the climb is worth the view!), this character-filled home features hardwood floors, high ceilings, original woodwork and new windows throughout. A charming butler's pantry offers extra storage and beautiful treetop views, while the updated bath adds modern comfort. Out back, a large new wood deck is perfect for relaxing or entertaining with woods and no rear neighbors as your backdrop. Complete with a 1-car garage, this home offers character, privacy and a setting you won't find every day!
