ABOUT THIS HOME
Cheap Home for sale in Polk County, IA:
Tucked into a quiet corner of Bondurant, this split foyer offers the kind of everyday comfort that's hard to find. The finished basement stretches the living space well beyond what you'd expect, giving you room to spread out, host, or carve out a spot that's entirely your own. Outside, the deck and enclosed porch create two distinct places to unwind, morning coffee on one, evening wind down on the other. Set on nearly half an acre, there's space to garden, play, or simply breathe a little easier than you can in town. Bondurant Farrar schools, small town pace, and an easy commute into Des Moines round out the appeal. This is a home that's ready for its next chapter.
