About This Home

Where thoughtful upgrades meet comfortable and matured outdoor living, this one truly outshines new construction. This ranch-style home delivers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, almost 3,000 finished square feet across two levels. The main floor is laid out the way people actually live - open, connected, and functional. Kitchen has mahogany cabinetry, a tiled backsplash, and stainless appliances. The dining space pulls in great light throughout the day, and the covered deck just off the back gives you an outdoor space worth coming home to.
Primary suite is on the main level, featuring a walk-in closet, dual vanity, and walk-in tile shower. Two more bedrooms, a full guest bath, and a main level laundry room finish out the first floor.
The lower level is built for more than storage. A generous rec room, two large bedrooms -- one with its own walk-in closet -- and a separate storage room for the bigger stuff. Over 1,350 square feet of finished space below grade.
Step outside and the yard holds its own. Nine-zone irrigation keeps it looking right year-round. Fully fenced. Covered patio. The oversized garage is heated with epoxy-coated floors and has real depth to it. Additional upgrades include a fully fenced in backyard, large backyard shed, whole home humidifier, and more.
With two patios in the front, or back, you can enjoy morning coffee, or evening wine comfortably. Quick commute to Pella, Newton, Knoxville, and the greater Des Moines area. Call your favorite Realtor today.
