From the thoughtfully designed interior to the extensive outdoor improvements made by the current owners, this home has been crafted for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining.
A Bright and Open Main Level
Step inside and you'll immediately notice the spacious feel created by the vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, and open-concept design. The living room serves as the heart of the home, featuring a cozy fireplace that creates a warm gathering space during Iowa's cooler months.
The open layout allows the living room, kitchen, and dining area to flow seamlessly together, making everyday living and entertaining both comfortable and convenient.
A Kitchen Designed for Gathering
The kitchen offers everything today's buyers are looking for. A large center island provides plenty of prep space and seating, while stainless steel appliances, a hood vent, tile backsplash, and pantry combine style and functionality.
Just steps away, the dining area features a built-in coffee bar, creating the perfect spot to start your morning or entertain guests during holiday gatherings and weekend get-togethers.
A Private Primary Suite
At the end of a busy day, the primary suite provides a relaxing retreat. The spacious bedroom includes direct access to the backyard deck, making it easy to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or unwind under the stars.
The attached bathroom features dual sinks, tile flooring, and a tiled shower. A thoughtful layout connects the walk-in closet directly to the laundry and mudroom, creating added convenience for daily living.
Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the main level.
A Finished Lower Level Ready for Entertaining
The finished basement significantly expands the home's living space and offers flexibility for a variety of lifestyles.
Whether you're hosting game day gatherings, movie nights, or simply need additional room to spread out, you'll appreciate the spacious family room complete with a projector that stays with the home. The lower level also includes space for recreation, a bar area, a fourth bedroom, and a full bathroom.
It's the perfect setup for guests, teenagers, hobbies, or entertaining friends and family.
The Backyard Everyone Will Remember
While the interior is impressive, the outdoor living spaces are what truly set this property apart.
Since purchasing the home in 2022, the current owners have invested extensively in creating an outdoor environment that feels private, welcoming, and functional.
A newer composite deck spans the length of the home and serves as the centerpiece of the backyard. Whether you're hosting friends, grilling dinner, or simply enjoying a quiet evening, the deck offers plenty of room to relax. The pergola adds both character and shade, while the hot tub creates a true backyard retreat.
The outdoor space also features a stone patio, mature trees, updated landscaping, newer fencing, and a large storage shed that can easily serve as a workshop.
This is the kind of backyard that becomes the gathering place for family and friends all year long.
