Exquisite mid-century home, just one block from the Ottumwa Golf and Country Club. Step in and be in awe of the six-figure remodeled kitchen with not one, but two kitchen islands. It's a culinary dream. Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless appliances, warming drawer, appliance garage, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, even a pass through to the patio off the wine bar. The large family area is superb for entertaining with two additional doors that open to the patio to bring the outdoors in. And let's talk about that private back yard, its perfect for your get togethers and would be an ideal spot for an inground pool. The back yard is fenced. A half bath with original 50's tile rounds out the main level. Upstairs there is a master with full bath that opens out to a balcony over the back yard. Also, a 2nd guest bedroom and bath. And a bonus 3rd bedroom or 3rd family area depending on your needs, this area was once two bedrooms and could be configured that way again for 4 bedrooms. Downstairs is a cool retro family room complete with wet bar, bath, and laundry/storage with shower. The home is efficiently heated with an in-structure boiler system. Four mini split units take care of the air conditioning. There is a natural gas Generac whole home generator. All appliances will convey with the property. Furnishings are negotiable separately. Call for your showing.
