Nestled on a double city lot with mature arborvitae trees as a natural privacy fence is a charming four bedroom home with two oversized garages. Stepping into the back door, you are greeted with a tall ceiling and stairs leading up to the mudroom or down to the fully finished basement. The mudroom has built in shelving for all kinds of storage, as well as a closet with coat hooks and additional deep shelving. Past the mudroom you'll walk into the beautiful open floor plan kitchen, dining room, and living room. The kitchen boasts Bertch custom cabinetry with roll trays, lazy Susan's, and soft close drawers and doors. There is a convenient front entrance right off the living room with a nice sized coat closet and a place for guests to take their shoes off. The main level continues into the hallway where you'll find a nice sized bedroom, full bathroom with tub/shower and another room that serves as an office and stairway area. The upstairs was completely finished in 2024 to include two large bedrooms with large closets and a perfectly sized toy room or family area between them. Down in the finished basement you'll find a family room, an office space (could be non conforming bedroom) with a pocket door, a full bathroom laundry room with custom tile shower, a very large bedroom (acting as the primary), and a large storage mechanical room with tons of built in shelving. Outside amenities include a new privacy fence in the spring of 2026, river rock fire pit area, paver patio for grilling and entertaining, 10x8 Suncast garden shed, and lots of concrete driveway. The larger of the two garages is fully insulated with a separate electrical panel with existing 240V wiring for a welder and another for a shop heater. It also has a large built in work bench with drawers and shelving. The second garage has insulated walls finished with OSB and only needs a finished ceiling to be fully insulated. It has large built in shelving for ample storage. You will enjoy this convenient location that is 2 blocks to the city park, 2 blocks to the Cedar Valley nature trail, and 2 blocks to the beautiful brick Main Street. It's a quick commute to Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Vinton or even Cedar Rapids with its proximity to Hwy 218 and Interstate 380. Please reach out to Eric with any questions!

    We love the convenient location of our home and the amazing large and private spaces we have on our property. The two extra large garages afford ample space for all sorts of projects from wood working to vehicle maintenance. Inside we have plenty of rooms for play areas or reading time and nice sized family rooms to spend time together.
