408 E Steele St, Croydon, IA 50060

This house is in an estate. A good sized 80x165 lot with a 2 car 24x24 sqft detached garage and a wide concrete driveway. This home had a broken water line last winter(2023) in the basement which turned off the heat, therefore the laundry room water lines and the kitchen sink water lines also broke and the main level got wet. ServPro was called in and got it all dried out. The sellers now have put in many hours of their own labor to correct all of the water damage. All of the drywall has had 2 ft flood cuts and has been mostly replaced along with all of the subfloor/plywood floors. This house has much potential as the hard work is mostly done. Taping, texturing and paint will be needed on the drywall and new floor coverings will also be necessary. The sellers have had nice custom oak cabinets built that will be in the home but not installed. Most windows that had gas/cloud between the panes have been replaced, but there are a few remaining and the replacement glass panes are included and are in the house but not installed. Going in from the side entrance of the home the laundry area is there(new pex lines) along with a decent sized mud room. A large kitchen where some of a wall has been removed to give it that open concept feeling and you can see from the kitchen all the way to the end of the living room wall. New countertops are not included so in this will need to be part of your renovation costs. A dining room area, foyer area, big living room, 3 bedrooms with closets, hall closets, full bathroom that has a new tub/shower surround, vanity bottom and will need countertop and sink. A full basement that is in pretty good shape, one wall has a crack and steel supports are being utilized. There is a stool in the basement. A brand new gas boiler that heats the home also acts as a hot water heater with new pex lines with various shut offs. The heat is baseboard radiant from the gas boiler. No A/C but could for sure be added, or mini-splits. This is a handyman's dream as this could be a great house to finish up and live in or a good flip if you can get the done work yourself. The sq footage is evident when you walk in, so don't judge a book by its cover on this house, its much bigger than it looks from the outside ! Some clean up with bushes/weeds will also make a huge difference with the curb appeal. This is a very unique situation and cash offers or construction loans might be necessary. *****This home will only be on the market for 30 days. All offers will be held for this 30 day period. The 30 Days is expires on October 25th, 2024. All offers will be reviewed then and the best offer that works best for the estate is the one that will be chosen.
