Check out this great home with many recent updates that you are sure to enjoy. A new furnace and roof were installed in 2021, and a new air conditioner was added in 2024, giving you comfort and peace of mind for years to come. When you walk inside, you will love the natural wood burning fireplace that creates a warm and inviting focal point in the living room. On one side of the home, you will find two bedrooms and a full bathroom. On the other side, there is a large primary bedroom with double closets that provide plenty of space. The flexible layout includes a second living room that could easily serve as a large dining room, office, or playroom. The kitchen has been updated with newer appliances, including a refrigerator and microwave replaced in 2025 and a stove replaced in 2024. Outside, you will enjoy a fully fenced yard and patio that is perfect for entertaining or pets. You will also appreciate the two car heated garage, especially during Iowa winters. There is also a security camera system that stays with the home.
