Wonderful opportunity to own a home that blends quality, affordability, and future potential within the North Polk School District, yet just minutes from Ankeny! This ranch in Elkhart is a must see. Pride of ownership shines the moment you step inside, highlighted by an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinet and door hardware, and an added pantry cabinet for extra storage. Painted trim, stylish wall colors, and faux wood window coverings create a warm, inviting feel. Down the hall, the bathroom impresses with black-and-white subway tile surround, updated vanity, and modern fixtures. The basement is already framed, with several materials included, offering a head start on finishing additional living space. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with privacy fencing and an oversized two-car garage, rare at this price point. In addition, brand new HVAC will save on the worries of a looming major expense. Don't miss it!
