Behind these nondescript gates in rural Newton, Iowa, and down a curving drive sits a “one-of-a-kind timeless classic”, boasts the listing. Don’t let its mousy façade fool you: this low-slung brick ranch house, built in 1958, boasts a respectable pedigree as the former residence of late Maytag Company co-founder and Chairman Fredrick Louis Maytag II. The man who helped introduce cow’s milk blue cheese and unsinkable washing machines to the world was also living in an entertainer’s paradise on 8.5 acres just off the golf course.
You may not be able to tell from the foliage-obscured exterior, but the home packs a surprising 8,031 square feet into its floor plan. Apparently the interiors offer 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, and a marble-accented living room that comfortably fits over 200 people. Of course, we’ll have to take the realtor’s word for this, since the only interior photos provided in the listing are of a bookcase, a bedspread, and the hood of the family room’s “copper-hooded fireplace”. Other fabled features include business retreat digs like a conference room, three breakout rooms, an exercise room, and a 702 square foot apartment. And with all this offered at just $575,000, you’d be hard pressed to find a better deal in all of Jasper County!
