Property Description

Rare In-Town Acreage! Discover this beautifully updated 1,700 sq ft ranch featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a spacious 2+ car garage—all nestled on a generous in-town 1.36 acre lot in the highly sought-after Johnston School District. Enjoy peace of mind with numerous updates, including a new roof (2022), furnace (2021), water heater (2022), and updated electrical (2015). The kitchen and both bathrooms were fully renovated in 2024, combining modern style with everyday functionality. Home has been switched to city sewer during Johnston's system upgrade. The location offers the best of both worlds—peaceful in-town acreage with easy access to the interstate, just about 15 minutes to either downtown Des Moines or Jordan Creek Mall. Close to Saylorville Lake for outdoor recreation, and a bike/walking path runs directly behind the property, perfect for active lifestyles. Outside, you’ll also find a large shed ideal for storage, a workshop, or hobbies. Don’t miss this unique blend of space, location, and updates—move-in ready and waiting for you to make it home!
