Description

Discover this resurrected and meticulously maintained two story single family home located at 1016 Elm Street which is perfectly situated just moments from the vibrant heart of Grinnell Central Park and the prestigious Grinnell College campus. This residence has undergone a comprehensive and soulful transformation that has breathed new life into what was once a neglected and tired property. The exterior has been brought back from the brink starting with the newly remodeled front porch that serves as a stunning focal point and a peaceful spot to enjoy the neighborhood. The curb appeal is further enhanced by thoughtful landscaping improvements that have cleared away the years of overgrowth to frame the property with fresh potential. Inside you will find fresh interior paint and plush new carpet throughout that create a bright and incredibly inviting atmosphere from the moment you step through the entrance and into the welcoming foyer. The main floor offers an expansive living room that flows effortlessly into a large formal dining room providing ample space for entertaining and daily life.
