Property Description
If you've been waiting for an affordable home where the major updates are already done, this charming bungalow deserves a look. Lovingly maintained by the same owners for more than two decades, it reflects years of pride, care, and thoughtful improvements. The remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home and comes complete with appliances, making move-in day easy. The main level offers two bedrooms and a full bath, while the partially finished lower level adds flexibility. Currently used as a non-conforming third bedroom, it features a large closet, laundry area, and access to plumbing—providing an opportunity to create a future ensuite bathroom. Outside, you'll find a spacious yard perfect for pets, gardening, and outdoor gatherings. The detached two-car garage adds valuable storage and protection from Iowa weather. Located near a neighborhood school, younger children can enjoy a short walk to class while parents appreciate the strong sense of community created by neighbors who have lived here for years. Just minutes from the Highland Park district's restaurants, shops, entertainment, and community events, you'll enjoy the character of an established neighborhood with convenient access to everyday amenities. For the first-time buyer seeking an affordable payment, move-in-ready condition, and a neighborhood where people still know their neighbors, this home offers an opportunity that's becoming increasingly hard to find.
