    What's special

    Welcome to this great one-owner home, meticulously cared for over the past 51 years. With its pristine condition, this home is ready for you to move in and make it your own. Situated in the highly regarded Johnston School District, it offers access to Lawson Elementary (K-5), Summit Middle (6-7), JMS (8-9), and JHS (10-12). Additionally, this location qualifies for K-12 FREE BUSING. There is also the option for open enrollment to DSM or Urbandale schools. Built in 1972, this charming walk-out split foyer features four bedrooms, each equipped with ceiling fans, and one and a half baths. The convenience of laundry facilities in the half bath downstairs presents an opportunity to convert it into a three-quarter bath with a stackable washer and dryer in the future. For added convenience, homebuyers have the option to purchase the 2019 Speed Queen Washer and Dryer. The main level encompasses 1,068 square feet, offering a comfortable living area, a dining space, a well-appointed kitchen with stainless appliances and a Bosch dishwasher, a full bath, and three bedrooms. An updated sliding door off the dining area leads to a lovely deck, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Downstairs, you'll find 400 square feet of finished space that includes a fourth bedroom, a cozy family room, and a half bathroom/laundry room. The abundance of daylight windows and a slider create a bright and inviting atmosphere. Step outside through the updated sliding door to a paved lower patio with an updated retaining wall. Convenient access to the attached garage. The spacious yard spans 8,125 square feet (0.187 acres), measuring 65 feet wide by 125 feet deep. It features a fully fenced backyard, a 120 square foot deck designed for privacy, a charming 120 square foot lower patio with a brick retaining wall, and a custom-built shed at the back of the yard. Additionally, a well-maintained garden and compost pile await your green thumb. The 2 ½ car garage offers ample space for parking and storage, complete with shelving, cabinetry, and a built-in workbench. The "1/2" designation refers to the extra space located at the back of the garage. The garage also includes a hose system, garage drain, and the option for both cold and warm water, making it convenient for various purposes, including dog baths. An additional parking space is available through the turnaround off the driveway. Notable updates by the homeowner include a new roof and gutters, a 2021 Goodman central air conditioner and thermostat, a 2011 Goodman Gas 2 Stage furnace, Windsor Pinnacle Windows with tilt-in feature for easy cleaning, Anderson sliding doors, freshly painted exterior hardboard siding, new shutters, and two upgraded toilets. The kitchen received a makeover in the early 2000s with hardwood flooring, new cupboards, and a porcelain sink. All kitchen appliances, which appear like new, are included. The bathroom has also been tastefully remodeled with neutral tile and glass shower doors. Conveniently located, this home offers easy access to various destinations. Downtown is a short 15-minute drive away, Jordan Creek Mall can be reached in 19 minutes, and Ankeny is just an 18-minute drive. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this meticulously cared-for home, offering comfort, and quality.
