Property Description

Welcome to a home that truly sits in the perfect spot—walking distance to Valley Junction, Raccoon River, parks, schools, and local shops. This remodeled 2-bed, 1-bath gem has been loved and cared for, and it sits on a rare double lot. The heated, detached garage is perfect for mechanics, hobbyists, or anyone needing EXTRA space. Plus, there's an additional flexible area inside ideal for a mudroom, office, or playroom. While there's no basement, the home’s smart layout gives you those extra nooks. Laundry is on the main floor, and the roof is newer, with well-maintained mechanicals. A home ready to be cherished!
