Affordable. Updated. Hard to replicate. Welcome to 655 W Walnut Street in Waterloo, where small-town living meets space that’s nearly impossible to find at this price point. Situated on four connected city lots totaling approximately 0.60 acres, this well-maintained ranch offers room to spread out while still enjoying the convenience of an in-town location. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a spacious, functional layout with an updated kitchen, ample cabinet and countertop space, and room for gathering with family and friends. The home’s size is deceiving from the street and lives larger than expected once inside. Major improvements have already been taken care of, including updated furnace, central air, water heater, and roof. Most appliances remain with the home, making this a truly move-in-ready opportunity. Outside is where this property really shines. The heated and insulated outbuilding offers space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, a workshop, or recreational equipment. One side of the property provides plenty of open space for entertaining, sports, pets, or gardening, while the tree-lined portion creates a private setting rarely found within town limits. USDA financing eligible for qualified buyers. If you’ve been looking for an affordable home with updates already completed, a large lot, and an outbuilding with endless possibilities, 655 W Walnut Street deserves a closer look.

This well maintained ranch is perfect for 1st time home buyers and has many valuable updates: Furnace, AC , water heater, and roof almost new. A large heated & insulated outbuilding provides room for 2 cars and space for a multitude of hobbies. The interior of home is tastefully decorated. The kitchen is spacious with plenty of room for family gatherings and potential for a large island add-on. All appliances stay with home and most are nearly new. The property is compiled of 4 city lots giving an overall size of . 6 acres. One side yard is ideal for all kinds of family fun and sport practice and the other provides seclusion with its row of trees. Nothing like in town living with a country feel. Plus, this home size is deceiving; you will be pleasantly surprised once you step inside. It will sell fast so don't wait to call for an appointment.
