Charming Historic Home with Modern Comforts ~Near Drake and Downtown!!
Step back in time and experience the unique charm of our beautifully restored vintage home. Come relax with your family in this spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath and enjoy a game night with the family or relax in the outdoor space complete with a fire pit table! Nestled in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, this home offers a tranquil retreat with easy access to local attractions, Drake Campus and downtown excitement. Arlo security cameras with a motion activated spotlight are used to monitor both entrances to the home. One is in the upper corner of the front porch facing the door and driveway. The second is on the garage facing the back door and driveway.
