1621 5th Avenue SW

Altoona, IA 50009

Rare opportunity in Altoona—this spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bath home is now being sold together with the adjoining .212-acre buildable lot! Located in the desirable Venbury neighborhood, this unique offering gives you additional yard space, privacy and control of the property next door, along with the flexibility of a separately platted buildable lot for the future. The home sits on a prominent corner setting with a circle driveway, 3-car garage and standout curb appeal. Inside, you’ll find beautiful woodwork, multiple living spaces and a spacious primary suite featuring dual vanities, a jetted tub, separate shower and walk-in closet. Major updates include the roof, HVAC and water heater, all replaced within the last five years. The finished lower level is made for entertaining with expansive recreation areas, a wet bar, custom cabinetry and built-ins, plus flexibility for a theater, game room or workout space. Outside, the brick exterior and mature landscaping complement the additional space of the adjoining lot, creating a setting that’s hard to find in town. Schools, shopping and everyday amenities are just minutes away, with the Altoona Aquatics Park, skate park and library within walking distance. Enjoy both parcels together for added space and privacy while retaining the future possibilities of a separately platted buildable lot. Two parcels are included—an opportunity you won’t find with the typical neighborhood home.
