Nestled in an established neighborhood within the highly sought-after Johnston Community School District, this move-in ready home offers the perfect combination of space, comfort, and value. Whether you're relaxing by one of the two wood-burning fireplaces, entertaining family and friends, or enjoying the peaceful backyard, you'll immediately appreciate everything this home has to offer. The main level features a spacious living room, an updated kitchen, dining area, newer flooring throughout much of the home, and three comfortable bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with convenient pass-through access to the full bath. The finished lower level expands your living space with a large family room, second fireplace, fourth bedroom, and half bath—ideal for guests, a home office, or a recrea tion room. Step outside to a large deck overlooking the flat, fully fenced backyard where mature peach, pear, and plum trees, along with blackberry bushes, create a backyard that's as enjoyable as it is functional. Major exterior updates provide added peace of mind, including newer windows and siding (2017) and a roof replaced in 2019. If you've been looking for a well-maintained home in Johnston Schools with room to grow, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.
