If this home looks like it came straight out of a magazine, there’s a reason—it did! Featured in Better Homes & Gardens for its outstanding remodel, this all-brick two-story beautifully blends original character with modern conveniences. Meticulously cared for by the same owner for 35 years, with quality work by Nelson Hawbaker Building and Crose & Lemke Company, the craftsmanship is evident throughout. The welcoming entry opens to a spacious great room featuring refinished hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplace, Pella windows, and custom built-ins perfect for displaying treasured pieces. The formal dining area connects to a butler’s pantry with generous storage and glass-front cabinetry. The updated kitchen features refreshed original cabinetry, Corian countertops, tile flooring, and included appliances. The showstopper is the four-seasons room with heated Anamosa stone flooring, Danish soapstone woodstove, architectural beams, and walls of windows overlooking the yard. A half bath completes the main level. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and two updated full baths, including a primary suite with walk-in closet and unique loft area. The finished basement has been improved with waterproofing and sump pump. Additional features include a two-car attached garage, storage beneath the four-seasons room, fenced yard, composite decking with steel railing, and so much more. A truly special home where character, craftsmanship, and thoughtful updates come together!
