    PRICE IMPROVEMENT! This is the Johnston acreage you've been waiting for! Set on nearly an acre, this beautifully maintained ranch offers the perfect combination of privacy, mature trees, and modern updates—all while being just minutes from everything Johnston has to offer. The best part? The seller is completing the city sewer connection in August at the seller's expense, giving the next owner the confidence of knowing this major improvement is already taken care of. Combine that with the newer roof, Hardie siding, Renewal by Andersen windows and sliding door, K-Guard gutters, tankless water heater, updated hardwood flooring, remodeled bathrooms, fresh paint, and updated exterior doors, and you'll appreciate that the big-ticket improvements have already been completed. The spacious yard is a true retreat featuring mature trees, a greenhouse, raised garden beds, and plenty of room to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy peaceful evenings outdoors. An oversized 2-car garage provides exceptional storage, while the finished lower level adds flexible living space for family, guests, or hobbies. Properties with nearly an acre in Johnston are rare—especially one where the costly updates have already been made. Simply move in, personalize the kitchen to your style over time if you choose, and start enjoying everything this incredible property has to offer. Schedule your private showing today!
