## Description

### Agent Description
This home features a newer gas furnace and hot water heater, vinyl siding and a full, unfinished basement. There are two bedrooms and a full bath, a kitchen with dining area and a living room on the main level with a large bedroom and ample storage space with a half bath upstairs. This is a fixer-upper home that needs some attention but with your vision and some work it could be a great home again. It has a nice level lot in a great location in Fort Madison with a usable one+ car garage. Priced well below the assessed value, a handy person could possibly gain equity fairly easily. Call your favorite Realtor and take a look today!
