They just don't build homes like this anymore! Full of warmth, character, and the kind of charm you simply can't recreate, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is ready for its next chapter. Step inside and you'll find inviting living spaces filled with the details and personality that make an older home so special. A wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect spot to cozy up on chilly Iowa evenings, while the screened-in porch may quickly become your favorite place in the house. Imagine morning coffee on the porch swing, quiet summer evenings, or listening to the rain roll through. Outside, the fenced-in yard offers plenty of space for pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying your own backyard. This isn't a cookie-cutter home and that's exactly the point. It's cozy, it's full of character, and it has a story to tell. Property is being sold AS IS, and the sellers are including a one-year home warranty with the sale for added peace of mind. If you've been searching for a home with personality, warmth, and the kind of charm that only gets better with time, this one deserves a look!
