1627 Prairie Ave, Boone, IA 50036

Tucked at the end of a quiet street on a rare .45-acre double lot, this thoughtfully updated brick ranch offers the kind of comfort, space, and energy efficiency that makes a home feel great to live in every single day. With a fully installed solar panel system already in place (AND paid for), you can enjoy lower monthly utility costs while embracing a more sustainable, forward-thinking lifestyle from the moment you move in. Backing directly to Boone Middle School and surrounded by room to spread out, this home blends practical updates with flexible living space in a layout that's increasingly hard to find. Bamboo flooring runs throughout the main level, connecting the open living, dining, and kitchen areas into a space that feels both welcoming and functional. The kitchen features quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and black stainless appliances, while the bright main-floor laundry room doubles as a beautiful landing zone with natural light and excellent storage (with a second laundry option available in the basement as well). One of the most special features of this home is the rare layout offering four bedrooms all on the main level, including a comfortable primary suite with its own attached bathroom and walk-in tiled shower. Downstairs, the finished lower level creates even more room to live and gather, with a large family room ready to become your movie space, play area, workout zone, or retreat, along with a fifth non-conforming bedroom and a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring tile finishes and dual shower heads. Efficiency and peace of mind continue with radon mitigation already installed, a water filtration system in place, and the included solar panel system helping support both sustainability and long-term savings. It's a home designed not just to look good, but to work better for everyday living. Outside, the oversized double lot offers space that's hard to come by, complete with a large cedar deck, patio area, storage shed, adorable playhouse, and a backyard garden area with raised garden beds ready for growing your own vegetables, flowers, or seasonal favorites. An established compost system further supports the home's thoughtful, sustainable lifestyle features. The heated and insulated oversized two-car garage includes electrical hookups ready for EV charging or equipment needs, and the additional third concrete parking pad with direct street access creates flexibility for extra vehicles, trailers, storage, or simply more room to play and shoot hoops! With meaningful updates throughout the years, rare main-level bedroom flexibility, nearly half an acre at the end of a quiet street, and built-in energy savings already working in your favor, this home offers the kind of comfort and long-term value that's becoming harder to find.
