Property Description

This meticulous 2.5 story sits on the site of the original Iowa State Fairgrounds in the North of Grand neighborhood. Once a multi-family home, the current owner converted it to a single-family home 30+ years ago with thoughtful execution. The home boasts 4 bedrooms + a finished attic with ¾ bath, currently used as a 5th bedroom. Marvel at the original hardwood floors in the front entry, dining and living rooms and the custom stairs and staircase designed to fit the house’s original landscape. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2020 by Grand Homes & Renovations and includes custom cabinetry, double ovens, gas stove, heated tile floors and Sonos audio system. Remove your shoes on this tour to appreciate heated floors in the half bath, back entrance and remodeled full bath on the 2nd floor. Enjoy a yard filled with a variety of hostas, grasses and perennials in bloom throughout the seasons from the covered front porch, 2nd floor balcony or wood deck off the back entry made from IPE Brazilian wood. The basement isn’t an old and creepy one! There are two rooms previously used as offices and one room used as a workshop. Hot water boiler (2024), Water heater (2024), 7 zone mini split heat pump, security is wired in both house and garage. Front porch new cement (2022). All appliances stay.
