About This Home

Let it all begin. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, this well-maintained one-bedroom, one-bath home offers a simple and welcoming start to homeownership. The open concept makes the space easy to furnish, simple to clean, and comfortable to call home. The 3/4 bath features tiled heated flooring, adding a cozy touch during Iowa's cold winters. Natural light fills the space, and just outside, the deck becomes a favorite place to unwind and take in peaceful sunset views at the end of the day. Thoughtfully maintained and quietly set, this home offers a comfortable path into ownership or a simpler next chapter.
