Opportunity knocks in Altoona! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch sits on a 0.22-acre lot and offers easy one-level living, a nearly NEW ROOF, and a fenced backyard, so the big-ticket items are handled. ALL APPLIANCES INCLUDED! The spacious eat-in kitchen features maple cabinetry with tall pantry storage, a stone-look backsplash, a gas range, and plenty of room for a dining table. Step out back to a large deck with built-in bench seating that overlooks a generous, fully functional backyard. The yard also features an elevated fort with its own railed deck, a backyard hideaway made for imagination in need of a little TLC! The 925 SF poured-foundation basement is a blank canvas that could double your living space with minor repairs, with laundry already in place and room to add a family room, a 4th bedroom, or a second bath and build equity. You also get an attached garage with great storage, a charming front porch, and Esteemed Southeast Polk Schools just up the street from the brand-new middle school. Seller would consider new carpet with an acceptable offer. Bring your vision and a little sweat equity to make it your own in one of Central Iowa's most sought-after communities. You'll be minutes from parks, trails, shopping, dining, Adventureland, Prairie Meadows, and quick access to I-80. Cash, Conventional, and FHA welcome. Don't wait on this one!
