About This Home
Beautifully updated and full of charm, this home offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and everyday livability. Sunlight pours through the oversized picture window, creating a bright and welcoming living space. The stunning kitchen renovation transformed the original galley layout into an open gathering space with modern cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, lighting, and appliances, perfect for entertaining or everyday life. A thoughtfully designed addition sets this home apart, featuring a spacious primary suite and a cozy sunken den that adds both style and flexible living space. Refinished original hardwood floors, bamboo flooring in the primary bedroom, fresh interior paint, custom built-ins, and an updated bath, all upgrades that are sure to impress.
Step outside to a backyard that's been lovingly cultivated into a private retreat, complete with mature landscaping, perennial gardens, blackberry bushes, and producing cherry and peach trees. Whether you're grilling, gardening, relaxing under the pines, or hosting friends, this outdoor space is made to be enjoyed. Major updates include new roof and siding on the home and garage (2023), full gas line replacement, partial sewer line replacement, and more.
Tucked into an established neighborhood, you'll love being minutes from Beaverdale, Urbandale, I-235, Franklin Library, Hillis Elementary and more. This is the kind of home that simply feels good the moment you walk in.
