Classic home on a beautiful street in a cozy, friendly neighborhood. This home has 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and is only a few blocks from MacArthur and Hy-Vee. The house was built in 1949 with sturdy plaster walls, and has been well-maintained ever since. The floors are original hardwood throughout the house, except for the kitchen and bathroom, which are porcelain tile. The kitchen is galley styled, with the original cabinetry and updated Stainless Steel appliances (which all stay). Over the sink, a greenhouse window lets in beautiful natural light and could be used to grow succulents or an indoor herb garden. The Family room add-on has large windows, knotty pine walls, an elevated ceiling, and a nice little porch just off the side. The basement is large and partially finished, with an extra half-bath and laundry room (the stackable washer and dryer stay). The basement allows plenty of extra living space for storage, a rec room, craft room, office, etc. The roof and all big-ticket items are relatively new and in excellent condition. Outside the home, there is a carport and a new 1.5 car garage. The yard is fully fenced in, and the property includes a 45'x60' bonus lot in the back boulevard. Some neighbors have left their lots empty for kids to play on, others have created beautiful gardens or built garages on theirs. I gardened and raised chickens in the yard and taught sewing lessons from the back pine room. The neighbors walk their dogs along the boulevard, and I used to always see people stopping to watch the chickens for a few minutes. One time a family left a note and a little purse embroidered with chickens on the fence for me. For me it was a great, versatile house tucked away right in the middle of town, and it would have been my forever home if not for recent life changes. I hope it goes to someone who will cherish it as much as I and the previous owners did.
