    This exceptional investment property is appealing to a range of buyers, ideally situated just two blocks from downtown Grinnell and Grinnell College. Located at 903 East Street, the upstairs apartment features three bedrooms and one bathroom, complete with a full kitchen, living area, and in-unit washer/dryer. The current lease grants the upstairs tenant access to a detached one-car garage.
