Check out this beautifully updated mid-century modern home tucked away on Sunset Ridge, a desirable neighborhood on the south end of Dubuque. This home is currently being rented as a successful short term vacation rental (since March) and is averaging just over $6,300 in monthly booking revenue. High income plus low operating costs (thanks to the new solar panels and new high efficiency HVAC system) make this a great option as a primary home or an investment property.
Features approximately 3,500 ft2 over two levels, with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and an extra wide 2-car attached garage. The 1.15 acre lot and mature wooded surroundings provide space and privacy. Extensive windows throughout the home provide both natural daylight and a unique connection between the home and its surroundings.
This 1957 home was designed by Straka Architects for a Flexsteel CEO, with several expansions over the years (also designed by the original architect). It features a mix of redwood and limestone siding, large window expanses, and a comfortable open-plan layout.
Over the past three years this home has benefitted from significant improvements, including a complete kitchen remodel, 2 bathroom remodels, new floors, new metal roof with 13kWh solar array, new electrical panels, upgraded electrical service (300 amp), smart light switches throughout, reglazed/resealed exterior windows, new furnaces and a/c systems, freshly painted exterior, new garage doors, electric vehicle charging outlet, new glass-panel interior doors, several new exterior doors, new backyard fence, and more.
Home is for sale by owner, contact seller directly to schedule your showing! Seller is open to working with Buyer's agents.
