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

Set on a large, fenced lot in a quiet Norwalk neighborhood, this 1.5-story home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Hardwood floors flow through the living room and bedrooms on both levels, and the upper level offers a large, versatile space that works well as a 3rd bedroom or bonus room. The finished basement adds even more living space, with plenty of upside here for buyers looking to build long-term value through updates over time. The oversized 2-car attached garage is heated, insulated, and deep enough for a workshop, projects, or your own private hangout, complete with a floor drain, pull-down attic access, surround sound speakers, and an additional parking slab for a 3rd vehicle. Out back, enjoy a flat yard enclosed by a privacy fence, shaded by mature trees and anchored by a garden shed and fire pit. The back deck catches the morning sun and looks out over it all, truly one of the highlights of this property. Backed by a radon mitigation system, a corn stove for supplemental heat, and fiber internet, this home reflects 35 years of careful ownership and upkeep. Located in the Norwalk school district with an easy commute to the metro, it's ready for its next chapter!

I WASN’T EVEN GOING TO WRITE A DESCRIPTION… BUT THE MLS MAKES ME. So here we go. This house is GINORMOUS. Five bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 decks, a huge fenced-in backyard, tuck-under garage, paved driveway, and enough space to make you start inventing rooms just because you can. The story goes this property was once configured as a duplex way back in the day, but somewhere along the way it was converted into one seriously unique and incredibly spacious home. One of the rooms has a walkout deck, giving you a space to relax. And the central air is only ONE YEAR OLD — and when I say it will freeze you out, I mean FREEZE. YOU. OUT. If I bought this place, I'd be putting in a movie theater room, a gaming room and, oh yeah… a tanning bed. Why? Because there’s room for it and it be convenient. Recap: 5 bedrooms. 2 full baths. 2 decks. Huge fenced yard. Tuck-under garage. Paved driveway. 1-year-old central air. One house. A ridiculous amount of space. A smoking price. You really need to walk through this one to appreciate just how much house is here.

Some homes give you a view. This one gives you a front-row seat to the Mississippi River. Hidden from the road at the end of a newly paved, tree-lined lane, this remarkable Guttenberg property rests on nearly seven acres of river-view bliss overlooking the Mississippi, Lock and Dam 10, wooded bluffs and the sparkling lights of town. The setting shapes every day here - morning light over the water, wildlife passing through, boats below and unforgettable sunsets from the partially covered deck. Warm wood, skylights and a three-sided river rock fireplace bring the feeling of a river retreat indoors, while more than 4,600 finished square feet provide generous room for everyday living, entertaining, guests and working from home. The main-floor primary suite enjoys river views and private deck access, and the walkout lower level offers flexible spaces for relaxing, working or hosting. Just beyond the home, a furnished 544-square-foot Amish-built log cabin tucked among the trees creates an unexpected retreat of its own - ideal for an office, studio or quiet escape. Garages, a workshop, patio, fire-pit area and fenced yard add function, but the heart of this property is something far rarer: boating, fishing, entertaining and quiet moments are all within reach, with a once-in-a-lifetime view to top it off. You'll want to call this one home.
