7070 Hickory Ln, Urbandale, IA 50322

Enjoy nature just outside your door. Hickory Hill development has tree-lined streets and a bike/walking trail that meanders through the wooded areas. In less than 5 minutes you can drive to the mall, churches, schools, grocery stores, theatres. You can be on I80/35 in a couple minutes too. Don't let the outside of this house fool you...inside you'll find lots of natural light and very nice sized rooms. The front entry deck and stairs are of a composite material which means little or no maintenance. Entering the front door you'll find a bright and open great room. The bay window adds depth to the room while the corner brick fireplace with gas starter, creates a lovely focal point. Even on cloudy days, you'll still have natural light flowing in through the skylight. The kitchen is very open and has a very functional floor plan. The work space is ample as is the storage. The remainder of the kitchen area has a nice eating area and a space to show off china or collectibles in a hutch or fill the space with a baker's rack.3 nice-sized bedrooms and 2 full baths complete the first floor. The basement is mostly unfinished and very open. One end was finished by the previous owner with an office, currently used as an exercise room, and a large storage closet. Outside you can enjoy the summer afternoons and evenings on the huge deck, complete with privacy fencing. This home is a very manageable size and has been well cared for. The driveway was replaced in 2010; several windows have been replaced, as has the sump pump. When you look out your windows, you'll see grass and trees, but your smaller yard will take little time to mow. There are several neighborhood parks within walking distance, as are the Urbandale Winter park and Ice arena and Timber Ridge Elementary School (K-5). This is a great house in an established neighborhood and it's waiting for you to call it home!
