Solid Home, Nice Price! Set on a generous corner lot with mature tree coverage, the structure itself offers a strong foundation for someone ready to restore and reimagine a piece of local history. Original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and classic window trim hint at the character waiting to be brought back to life. The layout offers flexibility and function, including five bedrooms total, with four upstairs and one conveniently located on the main floor, along with a full main-floor bath. A dedicated laundry and mudroom entry adds everyday practicality, while the room sizes and flow provide plenty of options for future updates, work-from-home space, or multi-generational living. Located in Ruthven, Iowa, this property is just minutes from Lost Island Lake, making it a great fit for those who love lake life, boating, fishing, and small-town living. Its position between Spencer and Emmetsburg offers accessible commuting options while still enjoying a quieter pace of life. This home is being offered as a fixer-upper and will appeal to buyers who appreciate history, vision, and the opportunity to restore rather than replace. With its solid bones, desirable location, and timeless charm, this is a rare chance to preserve a piece of the past while shaping its next chapter.
