Built in 1938

This solidly built, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1 1/2 story home, is located close to ISU. Its curb appeal is enhanced by the newer roof, siding, fascia, soffit gutters (with Leaf X), and shutters all installed in 2015, updated Pella windows, and a charming deck with built-in seating. Down the steps from the front deck is the two-car, detached garage which leads to the retaining wall that was professionally installed and landscaped in 2019, with numerous perennials all on nearly a 1/3 acre lot. Step inside the front door and enjoy the beautiful, original hardwood floors that span the living room, large family room and one of the main floor bedrooms. The family room could be used as a primary bedroom, and is right next to the full bathroom. The informal dining room opens to both the front and back decks and the second main floor bedroom. The spacious upstairs bedroom has newer carpet and two, nice-sized closets. The upstairs has a full bath with a large, jetted tub, a sitting room/flex space with hardwood floors, a large walk-in closet, as well as a linen closet! The clean basement is partially finished for the potential of a non-conforming bedroom or another living area. The unfinished portion of the basement houses the updated tankless water heater (2019), the furnace w/ Aprilaire system, utility sink, stackable washer and dryer and plenty of room for storage. Don't miss out on this wonderful home and schedule your personal showing today! Open House Sunday, April 21, from 12-2 pm.
