About This Home

This home has been cherished by the same owners for 60 years who enjoyed the great sense of community and their longtime membership at Urbandale Golf and Country Club. This home is literally minutes away from Hy-Vee grocery store that provides incredible convenience for those last-minute runs.
This split foyer floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, 3 baths (1 full and (2) 1/2 half baths), with a convenient primary bedroom en-suite. You'll find beautiful hardwood floors under the carpet in all three bedrooms, and the entire main floor was freshly repainted in 2018. The lower level provides additional living space, complete with bar area, potential office, utility room, and laundry area. Outside, the lovely backyard is surrounded by a chain-link fence, offering plenty of shade for relaxation. This home is ideally located just minutes from grocery stores, dining, and shopping. It's also part of the highly desirable Urbandale school district, serving Olmsted Elementary, Urbandale Middle School, and Urbandale High School.
The community is known for its vibrant 4th of July celebrations, featuring parades, fireworks, and more, which the previous owners thoroughly enjoyed year after year
