About this home

Welcome to this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, close to ISU Weibring Golf Course. A new beautifully designed, custom built entry door with privacy glass, greets you as you step inside. The inviting hardwood floors lead you through a thoughtfully renovated space, featuring a spacious dining room and a dedicated in-home office. The large family room is perfect for gatherings, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a convenient half bath. The updated eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a chic wine and coffee bar, quartz countertops, a generous island, stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and stunning light fixtures. You'll find a spacious mud room/ laundry room off the 2 car garage. Upstairs, newer carpeting enhances the comfort of all four bedrooms complemented by a full hall bath. The expansive primary suite has a new barn door leading into the luxurious bathroom remodel featuring a spacious double shower, an additional closet, and a built-in ceiling bluetooth speaker with color-changing light. You can conveniently brighten, dim, and change the color of the light as well as select the music and volume that fits your mood. The partially finished basement offers plenty of room for entertainment and separate storage areas, making it a versatile space for your lifestyle. The exterior is equally impressive, with immaculate landscaping that is full of perennial varieties that grow back each year, ensuring the curb appeal and back yard tranquility remain pristine with minimal maintenance. The updates are too numerous to mention here, so please ask your Realtor for the extensive list and discover all the wonderful features this home has to offer!
