Special features: The home was designed by the owner who has 28 years of affordable housing development and construction experience in Iowa. Because the home was built on the river, precautions were taken where water is concerned. Approximately 4 to 5 feet out from the foundation along the entire back perimeter of the home, a concrete retaining wall was built. It is approximately 4’ below and 4’ above the ground. In addition, beyond the concrete retaining wall, a dirt filled rock retaining wall was built. It too spans the entire perimeter of the back side of the property extending out from 2’ to 12’, approximately, from the concrete wall and approximately 5’ deep. The home has never flooded. Please note: This home currently has a (LOMA), letter of map amendment, from FEMA. Meaning that flood insurance is not currently required because the house, under current flood maps, does not reside in the flood zone. That said the flood zones are set to change in late 2021. Because of the changes being made to the flood maps, a portion of the property will now reside in the 100-year flood plain. The seller, to protect their rights and the rights of future owners, for the 1st time, purchased flood insurance. The cost of this insurance is less than $600 per year. The sellers were told by The City of Spencer that it is transferrable to buyers. More information can be obtained from The City of Spencer, and the owner/seller of the property. Additional Note: The lot next door to the north is for sale, separately by seller’s family estate, and would be a great addition to this home for access around to the back of the property, play area, and more!
