Kingsley, Iowa! This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is full of character and sits right where you want to be—on Main Street and just steps from the grocery store, post office, library, and so much more! The character and charm starts the minute you walk through the front door with a welcoming entryway, hardwood floors throughout, and a wood staircase leading upstairs. The main level offers a spacious living room, dining room, updated kitchen, and convenient half bath with access to the newer deck, completed in 2022. Step outside to a fully fenced yard completed in 2019, and a detached one car garage. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with more of the original woodwork and charm that make this home stand out. The updates are already done for you! The roof was replaced in 2019, electrical was updated in 2022, and the air ducts were cleaned two years ago. Clean, updated, full of character, and right in the middle of everything Kingsley has to offer.
