What's special
Calling All Investors & DIY Enthusiasts! The sewer line needs repaired, and the Radon level came back above EPA Standards.... so the previous buyer voided their purchase, and we are back on the market. This solid Lower Beaver ranch is offered AS-IS with great bones and key updates already done—including a newer roof, vinyl windows, furnace, and A/C—this home is ready for your finishing touches. Hardwood floors throughout, and the basement features a retro-style rec room perfect for entertaining or extra living space. Eat In kitchen with bay window. All appliances stay, and the oversized 1-car garage (with electric opener) provides extra storage or workshop potential. Outside, enjoy a manageable yard with mature landscaping, perennials and partial fencing. Yes, it needs a bathroom remodel and a fresh coat of paint and the sewer line replaced—but bring your vision and unlock the potential! Located just minutes from interstate access, downtown Des Moines, popular dining spots, bike trails, river access, and shopping hubs like Ankeny, Altoona, and WDM. This is your chance to turn a great house into a great home—don't miss it!
