Property Description

Discover your own slice of Central Avenue in the heart of Bedford, Iowa! This beautifully maintained 1926 single-family residence sits on an impressive 0.66-acre lot (consisting of 7 parcels in total), offering rare space and endless potential in a quiet small-town setting. Step inside to find timeless charm with beautiful original woodwork and gorgeous original wood floors throughout. The main level is designed for easy, single-level living—perfect for individuals, families, or multi-generational households. It features 3 spacious bedrooms and 1 full bath, along with comfortable living areas ready for your personal touch. Ascend the beautiful staircase to a fully finished attic that’s primed for customization. Transform this bonus space into an extra bedroom, home office, playroom, or additional family room to suit your lifestyle. The basement has been reinforced with newer walls along the north and west sides and anchored for peace of mind. Outside, enjoy the fruits of extensive prior improvements: a sidewalk leading from the garage, a lovely covered pergola creating an inviting outdoor retreat, and professional dirtwork and grading throughout the backyard for a clean, usable space. The newly cleared lot to the north opens up exciting opportunities—build an additional shed, garage, or even extra living space that could serve as a rental for added income potential.

I really like to help people find their dream homes, but even more, I like to buy and remodel homes! I find comfort and fun in purchasing a house and restoring it back to its former glory. The same holds true for buildings — I purchased the old Hart’s Bridal shop in the late fall of 2013 and basically gutted it and started over. I knew I wanted a firm where anyone that walked through my door would feel welcomed and my agents would love a great place to work! That dream has become a reality with four new agents and a finished building for our office to call home.
