* Located 2 miles west of
Iowa
State
University
in a wooded neighborhood built in the 1960s by renowned developer,
Bob Buck (still a regular attendee at neighborhood picnics).
* 3,100 square feet of furnished living space
with 4 bedrooms, a new kitchen, 2 wood fireplaces, an elevated deck,
plus 2 full and 1 half baths.
* On the main floor the family room’s
oversize picture window faces treetops across a lawn-covered ravine,
a formal dining room opens into a living room with sufficient space
for extensive entertaining, and a breakfast nook is nestled between
kitchen and family room, with a view of the backyard through glass
doors that open onto the deck.
* Nearly 1,000 square feet of newly refinished
basement with a walk-out onto a low maintenance terraced back yard
where deer often graze and a pair of ancient oak trees dominate the
skyline.
* In addition to a fully equipped laundry room
in the basement (and laundry chute from the second floor), laundry
hookups are also available in the second floor bathroom.
