Looking for a house in the Johnston School District? Can't find what you want or afford in Urbandale or Johnston? This could be what you are looking for! This updated two story has a HUGE master bedroom with a LARGE closet. The additional bedrooms are spacious with ample closet space. One bedroom has a built in desk. The front porch, large deck and Gazebo really spice up the well known traditional floor plan. The privacy fence makes the back yard feel like another living space. No more dragging a hose around to water the grass. This house includes an irrigation system. The most recent owners have installed a privacy fence, insulation, new exterior lighting and updated the family room to accommodate a flat screen TV. The kitchen was updated with new cabinets, granite and high end laminate flooring for easy care. Did I mention that the house also has a Central Vac?
