625 Grand Avenue

Some homes become landmarks in a community because of the way they have been cared for, admired, and remembered over time. This is one of those homes. A true Story City standout, 625 Grand Avenue blends timeless character with thoughtful updates that honor its original craftsmanship. Offering 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 3-car attached garage, this remarkable two-story home showcases rich hardwood floors, beautiful architectural details, two functional fireplaces, and extensive renovations that have enhanced the home's livability while carefully preserving the character that makes it so special. Upon entering from the front porch, you're welcomed by a stunning foyer and and elegant original staircase that immediately set the tone for the home. The main level offers a large formal dining room, additional sitting room space, and an expansive family room designed for gathering and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a spacious and thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring a large center island, abundant cabinetry, expansive countertop space, quality finishes, and all appliances included. Just off the garage entrance, a practical mudroom and drop zone create the perfect space for coats, shoes, backpacks, and everything that comes with everyday Iowa living. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a soaking tub surrounded by windows, a beautifully tiled walk-in shower, and a relaxing atmosphere rarely found in homes of this era. Convenient second-floor laundry hookups are located near the bedrooms, while an additional laundry area in the basement offers added flexibility. The finished lower level provides even more living space with an additional bedroom and attached bathroom. Updated windows throughout the home provide abundant natural light while improving efficiency and comfort. Outside, the attention to detail continues. Enjoy mornings on the welcoming front porch or unwind on the covered rear deck featuring a beautiful cedar plank ceiling. Situated on a private 0.33-acre corner lot, the property offers mature landscaping, raspberry bushes, and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. A newer roof and years of exceptional stewardship further contribute to the home's outstanding condition. Beautifully preserved, thoughtfully improved, and impeccably maintained, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Story City's most admired homes.
