Not every home needs to be finished before you find it. Sometimes the opportunity is finding one that's been cared for, works the way it should, and still leaves enough undone for you to make it yours. This 3-bedroom ranch offers 1,160 square feet on the main level with a full bath plus an additional half bath. Downstairs, a fourth non-conforming bedroom is already in place, with additional space offering the potential for another living area, office, hobby room or whatever life calls for next. The finishes aren't pretending to be brand newand that's part of the opportunity. Move in. Live in it. Then decide what you would change. All of it sits in an established Des Moines neighborhood with convenient access to the rest of the metro. You could pay more for someone else's version of finished. Or you could start here and make this one yours.

Built in 2009, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home on College Ave has been loved and looked after every year since. A covered front deck welcomes you in, and once inside you'll feel it immediately: solid bones, a smart layout, and pride of ownership that shows in every corner. The living room's electric fireplace sets a cozy tone, and the whole main level flows easily from living space to kitchen to bedrooms — no wasted square footage here. Big news for the next owner: the roof, AC, and furnace have all been recently replaced, so the major systems everyone worries about are already handled. That means you get to focus on the fun stuff, like the unfinished basement just waiting for your vision. With egress windows already in place, it's easily configured to add a 4th bedroom, a rec room, or both — giving you built-in equity potential when you're ready. No garage, but there's space to add one if that's on your wish list. This home is designated for owner-occupants only, and income restrictions may apply — check agent remarks for full eligibility details. A comfortable 1,056 square feet and a price point built for real life. This is a rare chance to own a genuinely well-built, well-maintained home. Schedule your showing today.
