Freshly painted interior, brand-new carpet, tile floors, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a stunning picture window are just a few of the great features offered. Everything has been updated within the past 10 years so you can relax on the private back deck. Bonus features include a detached garage for extra storage, a clean, dry full basement, and easy access to the bus stop, Iowa State Fairgrounds, shopping, and more.
