This property just became one of the best opportunities in its price range. A true labor of love, this home reflects craftsmanship, care, and pride at every turn. Over the past 18 years, the homeowner, a skilled carpenter experienced in every facet of construction, has thoughtfully shaped the property with intention and precision. From hand-built furniture, cupboards, and cabinets to custom shelving, trim, baseboards, desks and a large built-in breakfast nook w/storage-nearly every inch of woodwork in this 4-bed, 2-bath home was crafted by hand. Granite and quartz surfaces add timeless sophistication, while beautiful hardwood floors on the main level bring warmth and character. Offering more than 2,000 sq. ft. of finished living space, the fully finished lower-level features two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a cozy theater room pre-wired for surround sound. Peace of mind comes with major updates, including a new roof and siding in 2020 and all major appliances replaced within the last six years. Step outside to a welcoming brick patio, a spacious exterior storage shed with electricity, and a dedicated dog run — perfect for hobbies, projects, or additional storage. The location is unbeatable, just minutes from Grandview Golf Course, the Iowa State Fairgrounds, and convenient highway access via Hwy 163 and I-235. Experience where quality and craftsmanship meet — schedule your private showing today. All information obtained from seller and public records.
