South of Winterset about 15 minutes lies this traditional 2 story farm house on 10 acres. Only a half mile off of highway 169 is this home boasting 2,080 square feet. This spacious 5 bedroom and 2.5 bath home is a great place to house several people and truly make your own. This acreage is the perfect setup for someone wanting to start their own hobby farm. Whether you want a few cows or some horses, there is everything here to get started. There are multiple outbuildings including an insulated shop area to work on vehicles or many other projects. There are other covered structures to keep equipment out of the elements. If you simply want a little income from hay ground, you could possibly rent it out. For the house being built in 1900, something not common, is that there was a new basement poured under it in the last several years. Walking in the South entrance there is a nice little mudroom that has a pantry off to the side for additional storage for the kitchen. Right after the mudroom you are welcomed into the eat in kitchen complimented with newer appliances. The first floor also includes one conforming bedroom, and a large office space, currently being used as an additional bedroom. There is a good sized living room just off the kitchen, as well as a half bath, and first floor laundry. The upstairs could use a little updating in the 4 bedrooms. Add some new flooring and a little drywall/plaster work this home will be tip top shape! This acreage truly is one of a kind.
In 1887, the doctor built this home. His office used the east door and was upstairs as were many of that time. His office had a built in cabinet used to store his medicines and instruments. Upstairs now are 3 bedrooms with closets in the corners of the hallway. They have old-style wide wood floors. On the main floor, the owners used the north door into the parlor (now a bedroom). There is also a living room and formal dining room. These 3 rooms have narrow hardwood floors. The main floor bedroom has a closet stretching across one wall. Space was claimed under the stairs for a small office. The kitchen has a wall of wood cabinets with a window above the sink. The large full bathroom has laundry hookups and water heater. The south entry to the kitchen has coat hooks, a box bench for shoes made of barn boards and a pantry. A small basement accessed from outside has the newer furnace and connections for central air. An old washhouse located just outside the back door has a freezer. The garage could easily be put back to a 2 car garage. An interesting feature is an outhouse in the southwest corner. Another shed is in the back. The house has vinyl siding and some double pane windows. The house is being sold "as is". There are 2 lilac bushes and other flowers, a walnut and an evergreen tree plus others. This piece of Lorimor's history deserves to be rescued. Clean abstract.
