About this home
With nearly 4,700 square feet above grade, 6 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and more than 1.3 acres, this classic two-story home offers an exceptional amount of space in a desirable north Ottumwa location.
Beautiful curb appeal makes an immediate impression, enhanced by a complete exterior repaint, new shutters and garage doors, updated landscaping, a new sidewalk and stamped concrete front patio.
The spacious main floor was made for gathering, with two fireplaces and a large living room extending into a sitting area with a wall of picture windows overlooking the wooded backyard. A dedicated dining room with adjoining den adds even more space, while the impressive kitchen features abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island, two refrigerators, new double ovens, new dishwasher, a breakfast nook and access to the large deck.
A main-floor bedroom offers flexibility for guests or an office, while upstairs, the bedrooms are HUGE! The expansive primary suite includes a private bath with laundry. The home also features a finished partial walkout basement with flexible space for hobbies, recreation and storage.
Then there’s the backyard! Mature trees surround the deep lot, creating incredible privacy and a setting that feels far removed from the middle of town. The wooded backdrop truly sets this property apart.
With its impressive size, wooded setting and oversized bedrooms, this beautiful home offers space that's increasingly hard to find—inside and out....
