Cozy 2-bedroom home, located in Gothenburg, Ne

Relax with the family in our conveniently located home. We purchased and remodeled this 1930's bungalow keeping as many original features as possible.

We are located just four miles from top ranked Wild Horse Golf Club, two blocks from Highway 30, one mile from Interstate 80, and three blocks from historic downtown.
