Located northeast of Newton, Iowa, in Jasper County, this classic brick home sits offers over 4,000 square feet of living space on 7.97 acres - ideal for relaxed country living. With 5 bedrooms and 3.75 bathrooms, there’s room to spread out, gather, and make the space your own. Multiple living areas add flexibility, including a large family room with built-ins, a formal dining room with a fireplace, and a comfortable, light-filled sitting room with patio access that create easy flow for daily life and entertaining. The kitchen is a stand-out with an open, functional workspace, ready for everyday life or entertaining those larger get-togethers, and featuring an island, gas cooktop, double ovens, stainless steel appliances, and nearby laundry. Upstairs includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms, highlighted by a generous primary suite with marble-look tile floors, double vanity, soaking tub, porcelain shower, and walk-in closet.
