Charming Solid Brick Home on an Expansive Double Lot!
Welcome to 3225 Mahaska Ave, an immaculately maintained, solid brick home sitting proudly on a massive double lot. This property is an outdoor lover’s dream, boasting a beautifully fenced yard framed by mature trees and lush, perennial gardens.
Inside, you'll immediately notice the freshly updated flooring throughout, including a spacious living room and dining area highlighted by gorgeous, refinished hardwood floors. The main level flows seamlessly into an eat-in kitchen equipped with newer, included appliances. While official assessor records list two bedrooms, this home offers incredible flexibility with a massive third bedroom in the partially finished, walk-out lower level—complete with its own private entrance and a cozy covered patio.
Ultimate convenience is built into every floor with beautifully updated bathrooms on all three levels, including a private bath dedicated to the expansive upper loft. Enjoy total peace of mind with a newer furnace and water heater. Outside, parking and storage are a breeze with a large two-car garage, an attached carport for a third vehicle, and a massive 22x19 detached outbuilding that makes the perfect garden shed or workshop!
