522 14th Ave, Eldora, IA 50627

Imagine waking up to the rustle of leaves, sunlight through the trees, and deer just beyond your deck. This isn’t a weekend escape — it’s home. Set on 2.24 wooded acres, this rare in-town retreat offers peace, privacy, and the magic of nature without sacrificing convenience. Inside, vaulted ceilings and three sets of patio doors bring the outdoors in. Cozy up by the fireplace in winter or host summer gatherings on the wraparound composite deck under the stars. The main floor features a spacious bedroom and full bath, while upstairs offers two large bedrooms and another full bath. The walk-out lower level adds a family room, office, storage, and potential for a guest suite, gym, or Airbnb rental. Updates include a durable metal roof, vinyl siding, composite decking, and leaf-filter gutters. Two garages — one attached with a wood stove and another oversized with 9’ doors — provide plenty of space for projects, hobbies, and storage. Located just minutes from Pine Lake State Park, scenic trails, and charming downtown Eldora, this home offers the best of Iowa living: fresh air, space to breathe, and a welcoming community. Yet, with easy access to larger cities like Ames and Waterloo, you’re never far from big-city amenities. Lovingly maintained for 26 years, this one-of-a-kind property is ready for its next chapter. Homes like this are rare — schedule your tour today and make it yours.
