Years ago, a client told me: if you have to repair something, improve it! This home is a beautiful reflection of that philosophy. With a thoughtfully designed floor plan, the home offers exceptional flow, open living spaces, and stunning wooded views from the back. Every major update has already been done for you including newer roof and siding, HVAC, patios and walkways, kitchen appliances, entry and garage doors, bathroom updates, reverse osmosis system, belt-driven garage openers with epoxy flooring, and radon mitigation. The spacious mudroom offers easy potential for main-floor laundry and connects seamlessly to a chef's kitchen featuring a 6-burner stove, double ovens, and a large island perfect for gathering or enjoying peaceful views of the backyard wildlife. A cozy hearth room with a gas-start wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect place to unwind. Upstairs, you'll find generously sized bedrooms and a primary suite complete with a soaking tub and tiled walk-in shower. Fresh paint and updated lighting throughout enhance the home's move-in-ready appeal. The unfinished walkout basement provides excellent space for a home gym, workshop, or future equity opportunity. Impeccably maintained, thoughtfully improved, and privately set, this is a home that truly stands apart. A 25 minute walk through woods will get you to ISU campus!
