About this home

This is the home you have been waiting for! This home feels like country living while living in the city! Located on nearly an acre (. 87) within the Johnston school district and quick access to 80/35 making your commute quick to anywhere in the metro. This spacious ranch has plenty of room to host family and friends in the large living room with wood burning fireplace which flows to the dining and nicely appointed kitchen with a large pantry. The remodeled primary suite is complete with its own bath + walk-in closet and main floor laundry. The basement is a great place for a second family room or could be an additional second bedroom if needed and still plenty of storage. . Outside, the front deck is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. While evening bonfires can be fun in the backyard firepit or watching youngsters play a pick up game of football. Last but not least we can’t forget about the 22x32 garage with RV hookup along the side.

Looking for a home that has been completely updated, but with a low price tag? Well look no further than this one of a kind ranch home in Johnston. Lots of natural light with the huge windows installed in the home. The assessor lists 3 bedrooms, but there is also a non-conforming fourth bedroom in the partially finished basement. Other updates include hardwoods, carpet, interior doors, trim, complete new bathrooms, new cabinets with over and under cabinet lighting, stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, light fixtures, exterior doors, stained deck, newer roof, fresh landscaping. Huge Detached two car insulated garage for added storage. This home is a gem- full of updates, low county taxes and Johnston schools but still plenty of older charm!

LDR

Low Density Residential District

This district is intended to provide for additional development in areas where the development pattern is already suburban in character. The full development of the site will most likely not occur until public water and public sewer is available. The District permits development at densities of approximately 3 single family units per acre with allowances for planned developments with specific areas of open space. The location of some of this district is around the edges of the growing cities, and indicates areas that are likely to be annexed during the time period of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and under most circumstances not to be developed prior to annexation.
