The main level showcases a spacious living room highlighted by a dramatic domed ceiling, gas fireplace, and access to the balcony overlooking the private backyard. New luxury vinyl tile flooring flows throughout the main floor. The sunken dining room is a true showpiece, featuring cherry hardwood floors, custom built-in cabinetry and bar, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling wrought iron window that fills the space with natural light. The custom gourmet kitchen is equally impressive with cherry cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, tile backsplash, and appliances, a curved peninsula with built-in oven and range hood add to the uniqueness of the home. Two spacious bedrooms with large closets and a beautifully updated full bathroom featuring a custom tile shower complete the main floor, along with a convenient laundry closet. The walkout lower level offers a large family room with a sealed wood-burning fireplace and direct access to the expansive outdoor living area. Two additional bedrooms feature new carpeting and share an updated Jack-and-Jill full bathroom. A laundry/mechanical room and separate storage room provide excellent functionality. Outside, mature shade trees help keep this concrete home naturally cool during Iowa summers. The incredible outdoor space includes a huge paver patio with firepit, string lighting, custom-built outdoor TV cabinet, beautiful landscaping, fenced and manicured lawn, and a new garden shed installed in 2024. A portion of the patio is covered by the balcony above, creating the perfect space for entertaining. Be sure to admire the custom mural of a girl blowing bubbles artistically incorporated into the concrete wall of this area of the home. Additional highlights include a new roof scheduled for installation, new water heater in 2025, HRV system, custom front door, generous off-street parking, and a one-year American Home Shield home warranty for added peace of mind.
