    Mid-Century Modern Ranch with Character, Space & a Fantastic Corner Lot Step into a truly distinctive Adel home where mid-century modern style, original character, and spacious living come together. Built in 1946, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch offers approximately 2,295 square feet of living space and sits on a large, beautifully established corner lot with mature trees and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. One of the home's standout features is the incredibly cool pine-clad den/office, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere and a gas fireplace—the perfect setting for a home office, reading room, entertaining space, or cozy retreat. The home's architecture and natural surroundings create a wonderful sense of privacy and personality that's difficult to replicate in newer construction. Outside, you'll find multiple outdoor living areas, including a spacious deck/patio area surrounded by mature landscaping, along with a 2-car garage. Located in the highly regarded ADM Community School District, this property combines distinctive mid-century character with a location that provides convenient access to all that Adel and the Des Moines metro have to offer. A home with this much character, space, and outdoor appeal is a rare find in Adel. If you're looking for something beyond the ordinary, this one deserves a closer look.
