    What the owner loves about this home
    This home has been the backdrop for some of my favorite memories: hosting family around the table, grilling out and gathering on the back deck on summer evenings, and building genuine friendships with some of the best neighbors I've had. What makes the location special isn't just the proximity to ISU, CyRide, and everyday errands; it's that everything feels easy. Groceries, parks, restaurants, and campus are all within minutes, and I never once felt like I was out of the way. Whoever buys this home is getting a great house in an even better spot.
