Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home set in a peaceful Newport neighborhood, just a short distance from the Mississippi River and only minutes from Newport Elementary School and several beautiful parks. Designed with comfort and everyday functionality in mind, all living spaces are thoughtfully arranged on the main level. Step inside to discover a bright and welcoming living room, where a large front window pours in natural light. Recent updates, including new carpeting and fresh paint (completed summer 2025), make the space feel fresh and move-in ready. A generously sized coat closet at the entry adds practical storage. The living room flows easily into the dining area, highlighted by modern lighting (updated 2025) and an airy, inviting feel. With room for daily meals or special occasions, this space serves as the heart of the home, connecting seamlessly to the kitchen. The adjacent galley kitchen blends function with timeless appeal. Outfitted with classic wood cabinetry, a large closet pantry, and an updated electric range with hood vent, it’s designed to make cooking both simple and enjoyable. Since it opens to the dining and living rooms, the kitchen keeps you connected—ideal for entertaining. Just beyond is the versatile mudroom and laundry area, complete with shelving, additional closet space and convenient side-door access to the yard. The three main level bedrooms are comfortable retreats. Each bedroom has plush new carpeting, ample closet space, and updated lighting. Pella windows throughout the home add energy efficiency, abundant natural light, and year-round comfort. The nearby remodeled full bathroom includes a tub/shower combination, a vanity with extended counter space, and a hallway linen closet for extra storage. The home also features a full, unfinished basement, ready for your personal touch! Room to grow—create nearly double the living area for years to come. Customize the space to suit your individual needs. Outdoors, the property provides generous space to enjoy and unwind, featuring a large yard shaded with mature trees. The backyard is partially enclosed with both chain-link and wood fencing, creating a comfortable blend of privacy and openness. Parking and storage are well accommodated with an oversized, 2-car detached garage. It is complete with a remote opener and shelving, along with an additional 1-car parking pad. Perfect for guests or extra vehicles!
