This isn't just a remodeled home—it's a labor of love nearly two decades in the making. Over the course of 18 years, the homeowner—a skilled carpenter with expertise in every trade of construction—has poured intention, care, and purpose into every detail.
From the hand-built cupboards and cabinets to the custom shelving, trim, baseboards, and even a few HVAC vents, nearly every piece of woodwork in this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home was crafted by hand. Granite and quartz surfaces throughout add elegance, while hardwood floors on the main level bring warmth and character.
With over 2,000 sq. ft. of finished living space, the fully finished lower level includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a cozy theater room pre-wired for surround sound. Major updates include a new roof and siding (2020) and all major appliances within the last six years.
Outside, you'll find an inviting brick patio, a large exterior storage shed with electricity, and a dog run—perfect for a workshop or hobby space. Conveniently located near Grandview Golf Course, the Iowa State Fairgrounds, and just minutes from Hwy 163 and I-235 for an easy commute.
Experience a home where craftsmanship and quality truly meet—schedule your private showing today.
