    Finished lower levelLarge laundry areaOffice spaceLvp flooringSpacious deckStainless steel appliancesEat-in kitchen
    Affordable living in the heart of Polk City! This completely updated 3 bed (4th nonconforming)/2 bath home is ready for its new owner. The main floor offers a large living area and eat-in kitchen, featuring beautiful LVP flooring and white trim throughout. All stainless steel appliances stay. As you make your way through the kitchen slider onto the deck, you're going to fall in love! The spacious deck was updated with TimberTech composite and Westbury aluminum railing (2024), overlooking the .29 acre fenced back yard. Up a half a flight of stairs from the main living area, you'll find a primary bedroom with two closets, secondary bedroom currently serving as an office space, and full bathroom. Down a half a flight, you'll find another full bathroom, and two more bedrooms (one is nonconforming w/out a closet). The finished lower level offers over 400 sq ft of finish for a rec/living area with a gorgeous wood-burning stove, in addition to a great storage closet and large laundry area with sink, shower stall, and utility room complete with sump pump and water softener. Furnace and water heater replaced in 2022. Between the new/widened driveway (2024) and oversized 2 car garage with floor drain, there is plenty of room to park your toys and enjoy nearby recreation at Saylorville Lake, Big Creek, or Jester Park located just minutes from home. With over $50,000 in recent updates, this home offers an incredible value. Schedule your showing today!
