    Victorian homeModern amenitiesNewly added laundry areaSustainable livingBeautiful mosaic tilesRounded curved front windowsNew landscaping
    PRICE REDUCED!! Nestled away from the big city, the quieter pace of Marengo, Iowa surrounds this beautiful Victorian home. The expansive wrap-around front porch, recently fortified with new supports and a fresh coat of paint, welcomes you. The rounded curved front windows and wall create a perfect area for sitting and watching out onto the front lawn. Inside, the stunning elaborate staircase greets you as you enter. Down a few steps from the large entry area is a sunroom adorned with beautiful mosaic tiles, flooding the space with an array of colors and warmth. Upstairs are four bedrooms, a recently renovated full bath and newly added laundry area, with stacked washer and dryer. The full unfinished basement boasts loads of storage and an additional washer and dryer, a radon mitigation system, and the owned, reverse-osmosis system. The exterior has been updated with new landscaping and black iron fencing. Behind the home, relax on the historically-rich back patio, built from bricks of the old city street. This home is equipped with newly installed solar panels, promising sustainable living and energy savings. The price for this home has recently been adjusted to reflect the buyer assumption of the transferrable contract of the solar system. Monthly payments are $197.41/month and include the locked 0.490% interest rate. Electric c
