3 Beds 2.75 Baths House $125,000
Ruthven, IA

Ruthven St, Ruthven, IA 51358, United States
1325 Sqft
Built in 1991
For Sale by owner. Have a 3 bedroom ranch with a large (approximately 1000 sg ft) 2 car attached garage. The house has newer shingles, 3 yrs old but installed by previous owner. Just installed triple pane lifetime warranty windows 2 months ago. Kinetico water softener 1 year old. Garage ceiling(drywall) removed and replaced with OSB and added lights. Some exterior paint and landscaping started. Full basement with stairs from garage and house to access it, not finished, has 1/2 bathroom. Electric and gas are very reasonable. Water and sewer are very very high because the City of Ruthven can't manage it's money. Ruthven residents pay more for sewer service than the residents of Lost Island Lake. Lost Island Sewer District uses Ruthven's lagoons and pay a very cheap fee for this service. Lost Island Sewer District's rates to the city haven't changed since 1986 when it was installed. My average(single person) rate just for sewer is $65 per month. The most a household at Lost Island lake is $500 per year. The city also wants to put a franchise fee on the electric and gas bills because they can't manage the budget. Lot taxes are very high here too, close to $1600 a year. Lots and lots of stupid rules for such a small town also, it's like a dictatorship. So if someone wants a very nice house but with lots and lots of headaches from a small town this house is for you. I believe the city is being operated by a bunch of spineless snowflakes who need a safe place built for them.
