Charming and extensively updated two-bedroom home nestled in a quiet, low-traffic area in desirable north Ottumwa. Built in 1951, this well-maintained property offers approximately 1,200 square feet of comfortable living space and a welcoming neighborhood with great neighbors. The spacious living room flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an open, inviting layout. The beautifully remodeled kitchen features new cabinetry, countertops, modern appliances, and a stylish tiled floor. Over the past 15 years, the current owner has made thoughtful, ongoing improvements including new carpet and paint throughout, the addition of a main-floor family room, and the installation of a new basement foundation. Exterior upgrades during that time include new vinyl siding, a complete tear-off and replacement of the roof, and numerous new windows and doors. Additional highlights include built-ins in the dining room, ample storage space, and the breezeway has been finished, and if floor coverings are added, this can become a great main floor family room.
