About this home
Explore this historic foursquare, ready for a comprehensive renovation and brimming with potential. The home offers 2,977 square feet across three floors. The home’s excellent location puts you minutes from downtown and the hospital, just one block from Grinnell College, and a five-minute walk from Ahrens Park. Step onto the welcoming covered front porch before entering a charming vestibule. You're greeted with original woodwork, arched entryways, hardwood floors, and generous space for entertaining. The main floor features a spacious foyer with a grand staircase, plus a second staircase off the kitchen, along with a living room, parlor, and dining room. Conveniently, the laundry is located just off the kitchen. A walk-in shower was added to the main-level bathroom this summer. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a study, and a bathroom. Continue to the finished attic to find two additional bedrooms and a storage room— this area is filled with possibilities. Though unfinished, the basement provides generous storage space. The interior is ready for updating, while exterior improvements include a new roof and paint. Storm doors on the east side of the home were replaced this fall. Natural light fills the home, and the two east-facing sunrooms offer great potential. The garage, accessible from the alley, has room for 3 vehicles and is in need of TLC. Don’t miss the chance to bring your vision to this structurally sound home. Come see how you can make it truly special!...
