## Description

### Agent Description
Sellers have made several recent updates to this spacious rural Melrose, Iowa home, located just off a hard-surfaced highway with no development or HOA restrictions. Less than a 5-minute drive from the Bridgeview boat launch at Rathbun Lake, this property offers an ideal year-round home, weekend getaway, or lake-area retreat.    The home features over 2,000 square feet of main-floor living space, plus a full basement with semi-finished areas, making it well-suited for large gatherings, extended family, or entertaining guests. Situated on approximately 2 acres, the property offers room to spread out while still providing convenient paved-road access.    Inside, the front entry opens to a sunken living room that adds character and charm. The main level includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, first-floor laundry, a large kitchen, and multiple gathering areas, including a comfortable family room with an updated fireplace. The basement adds even more usable space with 2 non-conforming bedrooms, a shower stall, a large recreation room with bar area and wood fireplace, a potential workout room, abundant storage, and a partial second kitchen.    Additional highlights include an oversized 2-car garage with a new roof, mature trees, ample parking, and a spacious yard perfect for outdoor enjoyment. One of the most unique features is the gazebo-style outdoor bar area, creatively built from a corn crib and equipped with power and lighting-an excellent setup for summer gatherings.    With its space, charm, recent updates, paved access, and excellent location near Rathbun Lake, this property is a rare opportunity in the Melrose area. Call today to schedule your showing!
