Dual sinks
Tile flooring
Soaking tub
Separate shower
The main level also includes a second bedroom, dedicated office, ¾ bathroom, and convenient laundry.
The home was originally designed with three bedrooms, and the current office offers the flexibility to convert the layout back to a third bedroom if desired.
Outdoor Spaces Made for Iowa Evenings
Acreage living is about spending time outside, and this property gives you several ways to enjoy the setting.
Start your morning on the covered front porch, spend an afternoon on the deck with pergola, or gather around the fire ring after sunset.
With nearly two acres surrounding you, there's room to enjoy the property in a way that's hard to recreate on a standard residential lot.
And don't overlook the views. From sunrise to sunset, the open surroundings are one of the property's defining features.
Barn + Bunkhouse = Endless Possibilities
Beyond the house, you'll find one of the property's most distinctive features: a barn with an attached bunkhouse space.
The bunkhouse includes room for a bed and a ¾ bathroom, opening the door to a variety of potential uses.
Depending on your needs, the space could work well for:
Guest accommodations
Hobby space
Workshop space
Creative studio
Additional office space
A private getaway separate from the main house
Whether you need room for projects, storage, guests, or hobbies, having a separate structure already on the property adds another level of flexibility.
