Tucked back among the trees near the Des Moines River Valley, this is the kind of place where you can slow down, watch nature outside your window, and enjoy having some space of your own. Hiking, kayaking, and hunting are all part of the outdoor lifestyle nearby. With three lots totaling 6.3 acres, there is space for animals, a large garden, RV or trailer parking, and future outbuildings. Just inside the front door, you will find a welcoming living room with a cozy brick fireplace. Around the corner, the kitchen includes a large island with a cooktop, oak cabinets, a pantry, and a dining area overlooking the timber behind the home. A few steps upstairs, the loft provides a comfortable place for a home office or lounge area. Down the hall are two bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, along with a bath featuring an updated walk-in shower. Downstairs, the daylight lower level offers a large family room with a wood-burning stove and windows for natural light. There is also a third bedroom, laundry room, and walkout access to the backyard. Additional features include a new septic system, newer roof and siding, updated furnace and AC, on-demand water heater, and a three-car garage. Here, you can put down roots and create a place that truly feels like your own.
