Welcome to this lovingly cared-for 2-bedroom, 1-bath home on the north end of Dubuque, offering convenient access to the Northwest Arterial and all that the area has to offer. A nonconforming third bedroom or office provides additional flexibility for a home office, guest space, or hobby room. This home has been cherished by the same family for generations and has been thoughtfully maintained and cared for over the years. A full interior strip remodel brought extensive updates, including all-new plumbing and electrical, along with a new roof, siding, and decks. The HVAC, central air, and water heater were replaced in 2015, and additional blown-in attic insulation was added by Energy Nerds in 2019. With its extensive updates, flexible living space, and wonderful family history, this home is ready to be loved by its next owners.
