What the seller loves about this home We love the friendly town, kind neighbors, and convenience to shopping and medical resources. The kitchen has lots of cupboard space. The barn-shaped workshop was a 2 car garage. The current 2-car garage is insulated, and has a gas furnace, which is makes it great for working in cold or hot weather. The ground-floor living ranch style is easy on the joints, while the basement has extra space for a second laundry room and storage. Renovations included metal roofs, bathroom and kitchen improvements, and additional adult and baby bedrooms which might easily be used for a sunny office, or a huge closet. The gas backup generator makes sure things run smoothly if the power goes out. The backyard is a super place for kids to get some exercise, and there are small mulched gardens. Things to do: Lena features a nice library, several parks within walking or biking distance, a great meat market, pool, mini golf, several churches, live music events, fire station, police station, parades, fairs, farmer's markers, cheese factories, friendly neighbors, nice schools, farms, award-winning sports games, and shopping. It is a gem of easy going, clean Midwest lifestyle. Nearby Freeport (20 minutes) offers more shopping, a steam show at the fairgrounds, a hospital, and bigger-city amenities. Stockton is a 15 minute drive with jobs, churches, shopping, and a park with pool and Independence Day fireworks. Monroe is a 30 minute drive, and has a lot to offer in economical grocery shopping and lower gas prices. Dubuque is an hour away, and has a great air show. Madison is a scenic two hours north, and is a good choice for flights, especially if you want to avoid the traffic of Chicago's O'Hare, which has a similar drive time.
