New Listing
I HAD THE GREAT IDEA TO BUY THIS HOUSE EARLIER THIS YEAR… The plan was to turn it into a rental. My wife did not exactly share my enthusiasm for that plan, which caused a bit of a debate around our house. You know who won? Well… let's just say I'm writing a listing description instead of a rental ad. So here we are! This 2-bedroom Southside home has some great potential and a fenced-in backyard with large gates, which is a feature I personally really appreciate. When I go over to mow, I can drive my rider right through the gate and knock the whole thing out in no time. There's also an additional building on the property that offers possibilities for the next owner to decide what makes the most sense for it. The basement is another space that could be put to work depending on your plans, and yes… there's even a bathroom down there! It may need a little creativity to make it your own, but that's where the fun begins. I bought this house because I saw potential in it, and I still think there's plenty of potential here for someone willing to put their own ideas into it. Be like me and buy this house… but unlike me, actually follow through on your plan! One of the owners is a lic Realtor in Iowa
