Remember when you used to go to see relatives and it felt like you went back in time. You can almost smell the cookies baking in this sweet property. Hardwood floors, 2 enclosed porches, original woodwork. It is being sold as is but don't let that fool you- it is clean as a whistle and move in ready! So much care has been placed in this darling home. The gardens outside are begging for you to plant them for the season. The apple tree and all of the perennials are waiting for the true spring to arrive. Don't miss out on this great property, located in such a welcoming hometown of Avoca. Convenient location to the interstate, but it doesn't feel like it. Plenty of things local to do and yet also close to the metro. Find home here! It's a wonderful Iowa life!
