Not your normal 2 bedroom bungalow, this brick home sits high above the river and features nature views overlooking the Des Moines River valley, a wooded lot that goes down to the river, a 2 sided fireplace that serves both the living room and the master bedroom, and an additional 210 square feet in the finished upstairs. This is a lot of home for the money, and for the right buyer it will be a gem. If you love nature, you need to see this unusual home. For a personal tour, please call me or, if you have an agent of your own, he or see can certainly show it to you. . By the way, the home is not a duplex. The owner and I speculate that sometime in the history of the home, a previous owner operated a business out of the home, and the second entry, which is now closed up, was for clients. * * The Polk County assessor lists 978 Sq. Ft. , but that doesn't count the additional 210 sq. ft. up.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
