Welcome to peaceful small-town living! Located on the edge of town, this cozy home offers a unique blend of functionality and charm on a generously sized lot—perfect for gardening, outdoor activities, or simply enjoying the open space. The property features a detached single-car garage, low-maintenance vinyl siding, and a durable steel roof for added peace of mind. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable layout with one small main floor bedroom and a spacious upstairs bedroom that offers privacy and flexibility. The eat-in kitchen comes fully equipped with all appliances included, making move-in a breeze. Multiple heating options are available, including a ventless propane heater, wood stove, and a forced air furnace (not currently in use, but was operational prior). The propane tank and water softener are both rented. A whole-house water filter is also installed for added convenience. Easy access to surrounding communities; 10-12 minutes to Pomeroy, Manson, and Pocahontas; 35-40 minutes to Storm Lake; and about 30 minutes to Fort Dodge. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a place to slow down and enjoy life at a different pace, this home is a great opportunity to put down roots in a small Iowa community.
