Well maintained ranch has a great view! It provides small town blessings with an easy drive to Marion/Cedar Rapids. The hiking and biking trail right out front of the house goes on into Pinicon Ridge County Park. The picture windows in the living room and dining room overlook the Wapsipinicon River, yet the home sits high with no chance of flooding. Walk out front and go fishing if you like. If any children, school is an easy short walk and same to the library, pharmacy, bakery, post office, Dollar General and several restaurants. The lot is large and includes a vegetable/flower garden. The house, with its mix of carpet, beautiful hardwood floors, vaulted ceiling, and a fireplace, offers a cozy yet spacious atmosphere. The natural sandstone around the fireplace goes floor to the cathedral cedar ceiling.
