Description

Enchanting ranch home in a glorious little neighborhood with the gosh darn best neighbors you could ever come by. Really, everyone is kind, helpful, and really great about welcoming new-comers into their neighborhood. This street feels like a hug! 2600 square feet, 1600 on the main level. With an extremely spacious basement with equal parts unfinished storage space (with a work bench), and finished fun space! Perfect for keeping those boxes we never seem to open, and for entertaining a small rave, or both at once! An egress window provides a basement bedroom, if you desire. There's even a hidden sanctuary room (dubbed the Dragon's Lair by our family) we created in a crawl space! Measuring in at around 3 feet high, the Lair has roughly 200 sq ft and is furnished with such glories as carpet (with padding!), a TV (with swivel mount!), a quilted patch work ceiling made with bedsheets (of various sizes and colors to really sell that fort-like feel!), and for added flair - string lights around the edges of the ceiling (and the crowd goes wild!) 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bathrooms, with a water heater powerful enough to operate two showers at once. A bold family room with the fireplace as its eye-popping feature is a perfect transition from kitchen to the back deck, with an open floorplan to maximize flow and visibility. The sliding glass backdoor is right next to the basement stairs for those who want a route direct to the washing machine, so as not to track an entire Iowa winter through the whole house. Dining room and a sunken living room are combined, yet separated, to optimize space without losing sectionality. A hefty 2-car garage provides enough room to comfortably fit two SUVs, or one vehicle and a bunch of stuff we can't seem to get rid of. Also, has an electric car charger, for those who hate gas. A fenced-in backyard contains a solid shed, 3 garden boxes (with nutrient-dense soil!), a large tree with a swing, privacy, and backs up to Gloria Dei church's parking lot. The lot's lights, which are on all night, always gave us an extra layer of warm comfort as they illuminate the backyard, but don't reach the bedroom doors to disturb your slumber. This place is a MUST see ??
