General Description

Coming up the long drive into the property after a long day's work is peaceful and calming. Beautiful mature deciduous and conifer trees, bushes, shrubs and perennials grow on the property. Wildlife (turkey, deer, hawks, rabbits and squirrels) wander about, and always add joy and delight to your evening's ramble. Entering the door from the large cemented patio into the family room, to the left is a gas fireplace and to the right is the dining area with large windows and sliding doors onto the wood deck and to the large fenced in yard. From the deck and dining area are the great views of the valley and the beautiful Loess Hills. Off the dining area is the galley kitchen with a bar, pantry and warm wood cabinets. Through the kitchen is the large living room with a closet and the door to the enclosed front porch. Through the arch doorway is a full bath with double sinks, the laundry room with a folding counter, the first bedroom and the second bedroom with a pass through 3/4 bath into the family room. There is a mud room off the family room with a door to the 2-car attached garage, an ideal place to unload groceries when weather is cold and snowy. The garage has plenty of space for a work area and storage. Off the family room is the stairway to the second floor. There is a walk-though bedroom at the top of the stairs into a smaller room that has a walk-in closet. Also, off the walk-through bedroom is a room without a closet. The basement door is also off the family room and leads to the divided spaces, but unfinished basement. There is plenty of room for storage, some shelving and the utilities. The home needs some loving touches and sweat equity. The property has a 2-car detached garage, a storage shed and a neat fire ring entertainment area. This nearly 18 acres of land comes with free wildlife to enjoy on your relaxing hike to appreciate the tranquility of being in nature.
