Did you ever want to live in a small town in a house with a white picket fence? This home sits on the edge of town with fields
surrounding the west side of the back yard, almost like living in the country! The home was originally a Sears Roebuck home built in 1905. The woodwork is Craftsman style, and nostalgic character prevails throughout the home. Window boxes to display your favorite flowers also add to its charm. Several pocket doors, built in dining room hutch, hardwood floors, and wood carvings enhance the original feel. As an added bonus there is a huge primary bedroom suite with a fireplace, large walk in closet, and a sunroom, all on the main floor. There is laundry on the main floor with a half bath, and the primary bathroom has a large walk in tiled shower. All tastefully added later to make this home have 'everything you need on the main floor'. There are three additional bedrooms, all with closets , plus a full bath, upstairs. If you are looking for a home with lots of character in a small Iowa town, a white picket fence and an inviting open front porch to share time with friends and neighbors, this may be the one you are dreaming of!!!! Call me to see this home and all of its character! 515-290-5657
