This 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath ranch has been extensively updated with laminant wood flooring, new carpet, stove and dishwasher, remodeled full bath, water heater and driveway and sidewalk paving.  The downstairs floor has been freshly painted and you will find a bar set-up ideal for your entertaining needs.  There is a third non-conforming bedroom as well, you could use it as a bedroom or make it an at-home office space.  The laundry room has ample room for storage and laundry needs as well as a half bath for when one just isn't enough!  The two car detached garage is oversize and has a workbench built-in for all your handman needs.  Come by on Sunday and see how easy it would be for you to move right in! 

You will feel like an island on this property as it is surrounded by crops and the nearest neighbor doesn't encroach on your view.  Test the proximity to Des Moines on your way to the open house if you like.  If you start from downtown, go south on Fleur Drive, over the by-pass and turn west on Beardsley St, turn south on 80th St (R57) continue on 80th street gravel which turns into Elk Horn on the bend.  The house is on 1/2 mile of gravel.  This drive is less than 20 minutes.

I look forward to seeing you at the open house!  It is well worth the trip if you are looking for an acreage you can move right into.
