Enter the home to find a large foyer. Immediately you’re drawn to the beautiful staircase with gorgeous wood and wrought-iron accents. The house exudes a warm and comfortable vibe with its thin brick and stone accents throughout as well as stunning wood ceiling beams from Iowa Reclaim.

ADT security system, three HVAC areas and Sonos indoor/outdoor audio system are added bonuses that make this home comfortable and ready for entertaining.
