    Updated formica countertopsBrand-new carpet throughoutFresh interior paintNew acMain-level laundryNew dishwasher
    At the edge of town, where evenings slow down and summer walks to the pool still feel like part of small-town living, you'll find this refreshed 3-bedroom home sitting on an impressive 17,000 sq. ft. lot in the heart of Jewell. From the moment you step inside, the updates are easy to appreciate. Fresh interior paint gives the home a clean, bright feel, while brand-new carpet throughout adds warmth and comfort to every room. The kitchen has been refreshed with refaced and painted cabinets and drawers, updated Formica countertops, and a new dishwasher, while additional improvements throughout the home help create a move-in ready feel. Main-level laundry adds everyday convenience, and the new AC helps keep the home comfortable through Iowa summers. Outside, the oversized lot offers room to garden, entertain, play, or simply enjoy extra space rarely found in town. The detached 2-car garage provides great storage and parking. Located close to schools, Casey's, the city park, and the swimming pool, this property combines updates, location, and small-town charm into a place that truly feels like home. This Property is being sold 'AS IS'.
