To be a guest in this home would be great fun but to be the host would be even better!! This mid-century home is a standout with its striking original main floor fireplace (converted to gas) which sets the tone throughout. Perched on a hill, natural light floods the living room both morning and night yet the gorgeous HWF's remain unfaded. The sun brightens without the sweltering heat, thanks in part to the passive solar sunroom to the south; designed to snag only indirect sunlight in the summer and absorb the direct rays in the winter to keep the room warm & comfortable. In addition, the oversized screen porch to the back is situated to capture the gentlest of breezes, making Iowa summers not just tolerable, but enjoyable! The kitchen has been fully remodeled by Swan Creek with solid maple cabinetry in addition to a custom built-in hutch in the dining area. There are 2-BR's and 1-BA on each floor along with wonderful storage. The lower level also has a Rec Rm with gas fireplace and laundry with direct access to the 2-stall garage (although currently it has a one car opening + a man door). Both bathrooms have been updated and the HV/AC were both replaced in 2023. New Water Heater 2022
