Country Home Near Lake Rathbun Several Upgrades

Virtual Tour

Description

Recently updated and ideally located near Rathbun Lake, this spacious rural property offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and room to entertain. Situated on approximately 2 acres just off a hard-surfaced highway, the property is not part of a development or HOA and is located less than five minutes from the Bridgeview boat launch, making it an excellent full-time residence, weekend retreat, or vacation property.

The sellers have recently completed numerous improvements, including a refreshed exterior and fresh interior updates that give the home a clean, inviting feel. With over 2,000 square feet of living space on the main floor and a full basement with additional semi-finished areas, there is plenty of room for family, guests, and entertaining.

The main level features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, first-floor laundry, a spacious kitchen, and multiple living areas. A charming sunken living room just off the front entry creates a unique focal point, while an updated fireplace adds warmth and character to the second formal space. The home’s layout provides flexibility for both everyday living and large gatherings.

The basement expands the living space even further with two non-conforming bedrooms, a shower stall, a large recreation room featuring a bar area and wood-burning fireplace, a workout or bonus room, abundant storage, and a partial second kitchen.

Outside, you’ll appreciate the mature trees, expansive yard, and ample parking. The redone back concrete patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, summer cookouts, and relaxing evenings with family and friends.

Additional improvements include a new roof on the oversized two-car garage. The paved road access is a significant advantage for those who enjoy boating and lake activities, providing easy access year-round without the inconvenience of gravel roads.

Properties offering this much living space, outdoor entertainment potential, and close proximity to Rathbun Lake are becoming increasingly difficult to find. If you’re looking for a versatile property with room to grow and enjoy all that Southern Iowa has to offer, this home deserves your attention.
