Brick ranch on a quiet street with no through traffic in Windsor Heights, just a short walk from Hy-Vee. Impeccably maintained, this home has a comfortable, inviting feel with refinished hardwood floors and thoughtful updates. The spacious living room features a large picture window and entry cove with coat closet. The dining room opens to the remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, stainless steel GE appliances, gas range, and farmhouse sink. Just off the kitchen, a four-season porch overlooks the backyard and gardens. Two bedrooms and a remodeled full bath are on the main level. The finished lower level adds a family room, craft room, new ¾ bath, storage room, and laundry area with washer and dryer included. Barn doors add character, and a side entrance provides direct access. The yard is a standout, with considerable thought given to the trees and plantings. Linden, maple, and crabapple trees complement beds of hydrangeas, hostas, coneflowers, anemones, mums, and other perennials, creating color throughout the seasons. A brick patio sits among the gardens, and a 10' x 18' shed provides additional storage. Great curb appeal with no sidewalk to shovel. Improvements include Andersen vinyl windows and exterior doors, roof, driveway, garage door and opener, upgraded electrical panel, added attic and garage insulation, and sump pit with battery backup. WDM School District. A warm, thoughtfully updated home with a beautiful yard in a great central location.
