ACTIVE Status ⋅ 2 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 7155991 MLS ⋅ 1,287 SqFt.

Here is a fully remodeled, move-in ready home in Adams, Minnesota. This two-bedroom house sits in a quiet small town in southern Mower County, offering a practical floor plan, room to grow, and a yard that gives you options most in-town lots do not. The home has been completely remodeled, so the work is done and it is ready for its next owner to move right in. The main level is laid out in a functional, easy-to-live-in way, with the kitchen, living space, bedroom, and bathroom all on one floor. That single-level setup keeps daily living simple, and the fresh updates mean you can spend your time settling in instead of starting projects. Outside, the lot is a real strength. The large yard provides off-street parking with a carport, and there is room to build a detached garage if you want covered storage for vehicles, a boat, ATVs, or a shop space for projects. For anyone looking at this as an investment, a freshly remodeled one-bedroom home in a small town can fill a real need in the local rental market, and the option to add a second bedroom gives you a path to increase its potential over time. Rental income and appreciation are never guaranteed, so we recommend reviewing local rents and running your own numbers. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunities for hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation, and the Iowa border is just a short drive south.
