This beautifully landscaped, riverview home is any nature-lover’s dream! Stepping in off the new, wrap-around composite deck, you’re greeted with an open floor plan to the dining area and nicely updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The main floor features a bedroom and a huge, spa-like bathroom with garden tub and separate shower; as well as a large, walk-in closet. You can relax in the living room, but will likely prefer to retreat to the 4-seasons porch where you can view the beauty that mother nature has to offer overlooking the Cedar River. The gas fireplace will warm you even in those chilly Iowa winters. Watching the bald eagles, fox, deer and other woodland creatures from this cozy room will be like having the Discovery Channel in your own backyard. The loft above can be used as an office or even an extra sleeping space, depending on your needs. In the basement, you’ll enjoy another nice living area with views of the river, a ¾ bath and 2nd bedroom. The oversized garage and 2 large sheds will easily store all of your river toys. Home has not had flooding on the main level. Updates include: 2018- new septic system; 2017- sealed driveway, gutter guards, and complete basement renovation including: new walls, steel staircase, waterproof hard foam insulation, bathroom, water heater, water softener & french drain; 2015- composite deck; 2012- tinted sliding glass doors enclosing porch; 2008- roof shingles, windows, raised furnace & A/C.
