Pride of ownership shows here

There has never been a more perfect location: Douglas Township (in the county, no covenants!), lower-ish taxes, Ankeny Fire, City of Elkhart address, and North Polk Schools. I mean, serious — do you even need to know what's inside?

Well, don't worry — this gem is a diamond. Built in 1935 but with major renovations, it has been incredibly loved by the current homeowners. I feel like they should charge extra for their vibes.

This nearly 1,500 sq ft home offers 3 bedrooms (none are huge), 1 full bathroom, and main-level laundry. The greatest of great rooms — this baby is 462 sq ft of charming, cozy, big — and the wood-burning fireplace is dreamy and fully operational.

The attached 22x31 garage gives you nearly 700 sq ft of parking and storage, while the nearly new 24x26 detached garage is heated, insulated, and finished with beautiful drywall — a true workshop or hobby space. Between both garages, that's 1,306 sq ft and room for 6 vehicles.

My favorite feature is one I can't really put words on, but it is the 3-season sun porch. Not only is it southwest facing — amazing for plant life and sunlight — but it overlooks this park-like setting with huge oak and pine trees. Farm field on the left, brand new Costco on the right. Add the screened-in porch, fire pit, exterior storage shed, and included appliances, and this modest home is gonna be someone's dream come true.
