About 1603 2nd Ave SE

Forget what you know about cookie-cutter homes—this 2-story spot in a quiet Altoona cul-de-sac is anything but ordinary. With an open layout that’s made for both relaxing and entertaining, this place hits all the right notes. With sleek, on-point updates throughout, this home feels fresh and inviting from top to bottom—including the finished basement, which features a spacious family room, ¾ bath, and potential for a future bedroom. Currently, it’s set up for an in-home business, perfect for something like a massage studio. The bathrooms are decked out with clean, contemporary finishes that elevate the vibe. All three bathrooms have been updated, with two featuring sleek walk-in tiled showers and one offering a relaxing bathtub. And let’s not forget the toilets—one’s got a bidet for that extra level of comfort, while the other two are definitely not your average. The main level flows seamlessly from the living to the dining area, filled with natural light and stylish touches. Upstairs, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms—perfect for unwinding or setting up your own space. This isn’t your typical 2 story floor plan, people. And let’s talk garage—this one’s got a POLYASPARTIC floor coating (Google it, trust us, it’s a game-changer). Out back, enjoy a fully fenced yard, cement patio, and deck, ideal for those chill outdoor vibes. Plus, it’s pre-inspected, saving you time, money, and peace of mind.
