    What's special

    After more than 55 years of careful ownership, this brick ranch is ready for someone new to appreciate everything it offers, including a lower level with space that can function like a 4 bedroom home. Inside, you will find beautiful hardwood floors, a family room centered around a wood burning fireplace, and ceiling beams that add warmth and character the moment you walk in. The kitchen features classic oak cabinets and a layout that has served well for decades. The main level includes a full bath and an oversized primary bedroom that was created by combining two original rooms. Many major updates have already been taken care of in recent years, including the roof, windows, doors, and trim. A small glimpse into the long-term care this home has received. The lower level adds even more flexibility with 2 potential non-conforming bedrooms, an additional living area, laundry and bath + 2 stairwells for easy access. A 3-season room sits just off the family room and offers a comfortable place to unwind while overlooking the fully fenced backyard. Outside, you will find a brick patio (built with bricks from Fort Des Moines), a heated 2-car detached garage with a shop addition, a utility shed + mature landscaping. This is a solid brick ranch with a flexible floor plan and more than five decades of thoughtful upkeep. All of this + the benefit of lower taxes. Do not miss the rare chance to make it yours!
