    What's special

    Many updates were made to this three bedroom, two bathroom home. The basement has been finished to include a bedroom with an egress window, a family room which could be used as a bedroom if needed, a laundry room and a 3/4 bathroom. In 2017 the sellers put in a new furnace, added all new pull out easy cleaning windows, added a new electric panel, updated the bathrooms and added extra parking in the back of the home between the garage and the home. Installation was also added (blown) in attic, crawl spaces and side walls. The garage has a newer garage door opener. The hardwood flooring on the main floor is gorgeous! This home has a formal dining room off of the kitchen and has an open floor plan look. Nothing for the new owners to do except to enjoy. This home is on the city bus route, close to Roosevelt HS, walking distance to Drake University, close to the Art Center, downtown and the interstate. It even has an active rental certificate if you wish to use it as a rental.
