Key Facts
Description
Country Living in Polk County on nearly an Acre of usable land. Just minutes from Downtown Des Moines! Imagine waking up to breathtaking sunrises and unwinding with stunning sunsets right from your own peaceful county lot in Saylor Township. This isn't city living -this is true country charm with the conveniences of the city. At nearly a full acre, there's endless room to plant your dream garden, raise chickens for fresh eggs, watch the kids and pets play freely, or simply relax in your private backyard oasis. This well-built classic ranch offers 3 bedrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, newer windows, furnace, A/C, and roof. The clean, dry basement is ready for your vision -a playroom, home gym, or extra living space. Laundry hook-ups are on both the main floor and basement. The two-car garage and large storage shed provide plenty of room for tools and toys. Newly connected to city sewer in 2025 (septic tank fully decommissioned). Only minutes from I-80, Firestone, and vibrant downtown Des Moines, you get the best of both worlds: quiet country peace with easy city access and Saydel schools nearby. If you've been dreaming of space to breathe, grow, and create memories, this rare gem is it. Schedule your showing today!
