Once one of Tipton's most photographed homes, 111 Spruce needs a new owner to restore her to her former glory. Built in 1889 and renovated in 2002, 111 is a 2 br, 1ba, 1200 square foot home plus basement on a 50x142 fenced corner lot with detached 16x26 1920's garage. High ceilings, arches, four season sunroom, two rooms of new flooring, vinyl siding, updated furnace, water heater and central air, updated windows, and a newer roof. 111 was occupied for 21 years by a master flower gardener from Denver. The investment in perennials rivals that of the home. In springtime it is common to find passerby photographing the riot of flowers and butterflies. The yard also sports a large lily and koi pond with waterfall. This landscape has produced an income for the owner from the propagation and sale of its many rare plants. While the home is functional and livable, there are endless opportunities for remodeling. The carpet is stained, kitchen and bathroom outdated. The new owner might also wish to reinforce portions of the floor that aren't level, tune up the window frames and add more insulation to walls and ceilings. Tipton is a delightful small town with everything a family needs, and commutable to Iowa City and the Quad Cities.
