About This Home

Welcome to this charming bungalow in Hecker, full of historic character and thoughtful updates throughout! From the inviting covered front porch to the spacious lot and fenced backyard, this home has so much to offer. Inside, you’ll find a functional layout with a main level bedroom, a flexible bonus space, and a full bathroom on the main level. The living room flows into the kitchen, which was updated in 2020 with custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms, while the rest of the home has been well maintained and improved over the years. Major updates include plumbing and electrical (2020), roof (2019), HVAC (2020), insulation and weatherization (2021), and new siding, gutters, and window wraps (2023). More recent updates include a new fence and plumbing to the city line (2024), new AC (2025), and new tile flooring in the kitchen, hallway, and bathroom (2025), with the remaining main level flooring updated in 2026. The basement is dry and includes a sump pump, offering great storage and peace of mind! The detached two-car garage has also been fully updated in 2023 with a new roof, siding, gutters, fascia, and decking. Out back, you’ll love the fenced yard with plenty of space to relax or entertain! Located in the Waterloo School District, this move-in ready home is the perfect mix of historic charm and modern updates!
