Tucked away on a quiet street on Ottumwa's north side, this well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers comfortable living, numerous updates, and room to grow. Enjoy the peaceful setting while still being just minutes from Highway 63, shopping, banking and everyday conveniences. The bright living room flows into an efficient kitchen featuring ample cabinet space and direct access to the attached garage. Original hardwood floors add character throughout much of the home, while updated windows, siding, roof, and water heater (2017) provide peace of mind. The A/C unit was replaced in 2018. The laundry area is currently located in the basement, leaving the main living areas open and functional. Outside, you'll appreciate the fenced yard with plenty of space for pets, gardening, or entertaining. The unfinished basement offers approximately 672 square feet of additional space and endless possibilities for a third bedroom, home office, workout area, or additional bathroom. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or looking for an investment property, this move-in-ready home delivers value, updates, and potential.
