About This Home

As of February 2026

If you want extra space, this might be the perfect place for you! Set on a 0.70-acre site, this rare property features a recently updated four-bedroom home with two bathrooms, an owner's suite on the main level, a main floor laundry room, and a double garage. The yard stretches from 7th Ave on the east to E Valley Dr on the west, giving you an acreage-like feel right in town. Since 2013, the home has undergone many improvements, including a new furnace, air conditioner, shingles, upgraded electrical service, enhanced insulation, and most recently, a new patio, plenty of new LVP flooring, fresh interior paints, and new plumbing and electrical fixtures. Tax information reflects both parcels that make up the 0.70-acre site, which are sold together. You'll also find mature shade trees, a spacious storage shed, and a large gravel area for ample off-street parking. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity in Le Mars, Iowa! Note: The ash tree in the rear south yard will be removed by Kellen’s Tree Removal before closing.
