Browse One Story Homes for Sale in Mason City, IA
One story is recorded as its own style on this MLS, separate from ranch, and the two together make up much of the postwar building here. These houses went up from the nineteen fifties onward on the south, east and west edges of the city, usually on a full basement, frequently with an attached garage, and often on a wider lot than the older grid allows. No stairs to the main living space is the practical draw, and a full basement underneath means the storage is still there. CENTURY 21 Preferred can show you what is currently available.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How is one story different from ranch on this site?
- They are two separate style values in the local MLS. A listing carries one or the other, so it is worth running both searches when single level living is the goal.
- Do these have basements?
- Most do. A full basement is standard at this frost depth in North Iowa, and many are partly finished with an egress window.
- What should be checked on a postwar single level house?
- Roof and window replacement history, furnace and water heater age, attic insulation depth, electrical panel capacity, and grading and drainage around the foundation.
