Welcome to this totally updated ranch home offering 1,496 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space on 1.5 acres of peaceful country-like surroundings — with unbeatable convenience just off I-35 at the Truro exit south of Des Moines. Only a quick 20 minutes from the Mills Civic West Des Moines Exit! This home is just one third of a mile off I-35, with only 100 feet of gravel leading to a private asphalt driveway — giving you the feel of country living without the hassle of a long gravel road. This property is a rare find, combining modern updates with the outdoor space and privacy today's buyers are searching for — without sacrificing accessibility. The grounds are a true highlight — mature fruit and pecan trees, asparagus patch, an established black raspberry patch, and ready-to-enjoy garden area make this a nature lover's dream. This acreage offers expansive, usable ground perfect for future enhancements — whether a pool, morton building, guest house, sports court, or whatever vision you bring to life. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will love the combination of a two-car attached garage plus an additional two-car detached garage, leaving plenty of room for all your toys, equipment and vehicles. Inside, no detail has been overlooked. The large kitchen with newly installed cabinets opens to a comfortable living room featuring an electric fireplace and plenty of room for family and friends. LVP flooring flows throughout the home.
