1520 Prairie DR Story City, IA 50248

This home offers the ease of main floor living with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an attached 2 car garage. Lovingly maintained by the same owner since it was built in 2005, this 1 owner custom ranch in Story City combines a lot of living space with a level of care that's increasingly hard to find.

Thoughtfully designed with accessibility and comfort in mind, the home offers zero entry access, wide doorways, and convenient main floor laundry. Inside, you'll appreciate the oversized rooms throughout, abundant storage, and walk in closets in every bedroom; a feature that's surprisingly hard to find. The spacious kitchen offers two pantries, tons of cabinetry, and plenty of room to gather. A floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace anchors the living room, while the bright sunroom, complete with beautiful bay windows and access to the private patio, provides the extra living space everyone wishes they had; a place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the backyard year-round.

The primary suite features a huge walk in closet and private zero entry ¾ bath ensuite. Custom blinds throughout much of the home, central vacuum, and the meticulous condition of the property reflect the thoughtful design and pride of ownership found throughout.

Downstairs, you'll find a finished bathroom and an expansive lower level with 9-foot ceilings, two egress windows, and framing already in place, offering incredible potential for additional bedrooms, a recreation room, hobby space, or simply exceptional storage.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard creates a peaceful, private setting, complemented by a welcoming covered front porch and backyard patio. Major mechanical updates have already been completed, including a new furnace, air conditioner, and 50-gallon water heater in 2025, along with a new refrigerator in 2026. Located in the Roland-Story School District and just minutes from parks, restaurants, and the grocery store, this move-in-ready home offers a rare combination of accessibility, quality construction, thoughtful updates, and timeless care that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
