There is so much to love about this 4-bedroom split foyer on the west side of Indianola! Cute curb appeal and a street lined with mature trees give this home a welcoming feel from the start. The main level is bright and inviting, with cream doors and trim, plus a contemporary kitchen featuring cream cabinetry and a tile backsplash. Three bedrooms and an updated full bath round out the main level. Downstairs adds even more space with a huge family/rec room, 4th bedroom or spacious office, laundry area, and bonus workspace with a built-in workbench and shelving. Outside might just be the best part! The large deck and pergola overlook a fully fenced backyard, plus a charming paver patio for even more outdoor living space. An added 18x20 steel carport provides covered space for vehicles, lawn equipment, bikes, and more. All of this is tucked into a cozy Indianola neighborhood, just down the road from scenic McCord Park. Plenty of space inside and out at a price point that’s getting harder to find in Indianola!
