This well-maintained property is currently tenant-occupied and rented on a month-to-month basis, which is why interior photos are not available. If the new owner intends to occupy the home, the current tenant can be provided 30 days’ notice. The property offers a level entrance, wide hallways, and an open layout, making it a great option for anyone looking for convenient accessibility and comfortable living space. Outside there is potential for great street appeal, a terraced backyard, mature shade tree, established shrubs, and a completely fenced yard with both a walk-in gate and drive-in gate. I personally love this location. 24-hour notice is required for all showings to allow the current tenant adequate notice. One of the owners is a licensed Iowa real estate agent.
