    What's special

    Pre-Inspected Storybook 1920's cottage tucked into the quiet beauty of the Loess Hills. Set on a relatively private plot with mature trees and thoughtful landscaping, this residence offers timeless charm alongside meaningful modern updates. Inside, natural light spills through a large picture window, complemented by the glow of the new gas fireplace in cooler months. Arched doorways, original hardwood, and beautifully preserved vintage tile in the main bath speak to the home's historic roots, while updates like a full kitchen renovation, expanded closet access, and new paint create a contemporary flow throughout. Outdoors, enjoy a flagstone patio, tree swing and pollinator garden. Lower level provides a large bonus room. A lovingly updated, truly special home- ready for its next chapter
