Tucked behind a wall of mature trees on 1.43 private acres, this 1955 mid-century modern is one of Pella’s best-kept secrets. Drive past and you’d never know. Step inside and you won’t want to leave.
The living room is the hero of this home — vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beam, brick fireplace, cove lighting, and a wall of windows that frames the treetops like a painting. Newly installed hardwoods run throughout much of the main floor, and the layout flows naturally from the warm, wood-wrapped living space through the slate-tiled entry, two bedrooms and into the rest of the home.
A wraparound deck extends your living space to the outdoors. The walkout basement adds a second fireplace, 3rd nonconforming bedroom and bonus square footage. Then there’s the garage — four stalls, extra deep, 1,370 square feet. Yes, really. All of it sitting on 1.43 private acres in town.
Some spaces are ready for your personal touch — which means this is your chance to put your mark on something that already has great bones, a rare footprint, and a soul that simply cannot be replicated.
