This home is a treasure inside and out. Lovely old world charm and pride present themselves around every corner. Three beds and bath up and an office/library with water closet on main. The breezeway not only connects the garage but offers plenty of storage. The finished family room in the lower level is a great escape for movie nights. A wood burning fireplace is a focal point in the living room, offering a guaranteed sanctuary on those cold Iowa evenings. Large windows throughout the home reveal a plethora of good old fashioned fun at the park across the street. Who says kids do not play outside anymore? The park is filled daily with the melody of laughs and bouncing basketballs. Just over a block away you can enjoy the scenic and peaceful Wapsie. This gem is awaiting new memories with you, call today!
